Re: Scriplets as form control events

[David Chisholm]

You cannot do this because JSP scriptlets are server side entities.  They are accessible from a client.  The nearest alternative approach that I can think of is to use a scriptlet to generate JavaScript code for the onClick handler and use meta tags in the header to refresh the page.  While the  page is refreshed, the JSP scriptlet code could generate new JavaScript code for the onClick handler.

And then, with or without the button being type=submit, get the page to refresh to process the change made in the scriplet?   Cheers,   Dan
