RE: can I pass a velocity variable to a javascript vairable?

["Campbell, Justin" <jc...@profilesys.com>]

Your example should work. For all the Javascript is aware of, you could have
just hard-coded that value in. Which brings me to my next point -- why
assign "var stringb" to the value of "${stringa}" ?? You should able to just
use ${stringa} wherever you would normally use stringb.

If you must use the approach you've given here, I would suggest doing
something like the following:

var stringb = "${stringa}";

In the example:
#set ($stringa = "asdf")

This would replace as:
var stringb = "asdf";

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Suppose I have the following code:

#set ( stringa = $request.getAttribute("a"))

<script language="javascript">

var stringb = $stringa;

</script>

The question is: is the above javascript statement valid?

Thanks,

Keppel
