Jim, request attributes are only available for the duration of the request which is typically until the JSP is processed on the server. If you need the variable to last for multiple pages, you should use session scope. You can only set parameters after the user has pressed a button. You can either submit the value of the button or have JavaScript set a html hidden input field.

How long is the adlist attribute available? Is it just for the page or multiple pages? Also, is there a way to set an attribute value in a page after the user has clicked on a specfic button? (and set it equal to the value of the button) Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
