I need to access the jsp variable in script function,where that jsp variable contain the data accessed from the database.

kowsalya

Use the = jsp tag to display the value of the jsp variable and make it part of the javascript code. Replace the brackets below with < and >.

My JSP book is not handy, but it should look something like this:

var name;
name="[%= jspName ]";

Dont forget the % sign on the closing bracket as well..
