Thats quite horrible!
But don't worry Bala,
Its not a big deal and is simple. There can be 2 ways - depends upon
whether you dont mind or do mind the page changing while saving the return
value of the function.
1) Dont Mind : This is very simple. Consider bingo() to be one function and
tringo() to be the other. You want to save the return value of tringo() to a
file. Do this :
[I dont think I need to tell you how to write the servlet in the below
example]
function bingo() {
var content = escape(tringo());
var invokeURI = http://myhost.com/servlet/SaveContent?content="; +
content;
location.href = invokeURI;
}
function tringo() {
...
return content;
}
2) Do Mind : Now there are 2 ways of doing this and it depends on which
browsers you plan to support. The first way works with all browsers, but the
second is a more elegant ( & XHTML) compatible way.
#CANCEL# --> I just received a mail right now, saying that you are
prototyping for an EXCEL application and *many* things are now unclear. Is
this file located in the server or on the client.? If it located on the
server, then the user *definitely* has to save the file to the server, and
there always will be a backend involved! [ Unless you are talking about
caching some cells on the client using JavaScript and then saving the file
to the server - a sort of delayed back-end call.]
If the file is located on the client, then HTML/JS is totally unsuitable
for this kind of work. Use a Java Application or make an application based
on the new Java Web Start.
... Please be a bit more clear and list out your requirements.
Plus: netscape.javascript.JSObject class is LiveConnect technology (Java
calling JavaScript) and I dont think it works with any version of Internet
Explorer. However JavaScript to Java applet calls are possible for both
browsers.
Cheers
Tarun
