Passing javascript variable's value to servlet

[#HO QUOC THUAN# <th...@pmail.ntu.edu.sg>]

How can a variable's value in javascript be passed to one variable specified in vm template?
Following is my try but it failed, $list value captured at the server side is a string of "javascript:geta();". 


Do you have any suggestion?

<script ...>
	var a;
	function geta()
	{
		return a;
	}
</script>

#set( $list =  "javascript:geta();")
...


Thank you,

_thuan

Hi thuan,

> How can a variable's value in javascript be passed to one variable specified in vm template?
You can't.  Velocity and JavaScript work in different phases; 
Velocity is used to create the HTML, whereas JavaScript is used to
execute it.
You'll have to figure a way to simulate the JavaScript's /result/ server side.
