Sankar,
onClick is a JavaScript event(as you now know not
a Java event).
Probably not the best to event use anyways.
onMouseDown works just as good.
You can load the values of a hidden filed and
submit a form that would pass values to the next
JSP page...
<form name="myform" action="someurl.jsp" >
<input type="hidden" name="myval" value="<%=
some_java_value %>" >
<input type="hidden" name="otherval" value="<%=
some_other_java_value %>" >
<span onMouseDown="document.myform.submit()"><a
href="" >Link</a></span>
</form>
Or even build your href in JSP using java like
this...
<a href="someurl.jsp?myval=<%= some_java_value
%>&otherval=<%= some_other_java_value %>" >
Assuming you have created those values some where
before.

No. onClick is a JavaScript thing, executed by the
browser. <jsp:forward>
is a JSP action element, executed by the server to
continue processing of
the a request for one JSP page using another JSP
page or servlet.
The only thing you can do with onClick is to make
a new request to the
server, e.g. to process a JSP page or a servlet.
You may want to read a book about JSP to learn
more about the JSP
action elements, and what you can and can not do
by mixing server and
client side code. I can recommend mine :-)
