Hello,

javascript can execute aservlet.
You need to call the servlet url and get the data back into
a javscript object.
This is an example how i did it with IE:

<script language=javascript>
dnld=document.getElementById('linesintable');
dnld.startDownload(servlet_url,getdata);
function getdata(data){
        status=data.split("\n")
}
</script>

and in the html you have something like this:

<div id="linesintable"
style="visibility:hidden;behavior:url'#default#download')
 servleturl="http://Servlets/My.Servlet";></div>"


hope it helps.

the only bad thing about it is that you will need 2 different codes
for netscape and IE

Adi
