How to access table fields

[EvrimAgha]

Hi

In beginning I apologize to sending this question to two newsgroups (Java and JavaScript) ,if it is not appropriate. I was not sure which is the correct newsgroup to send it to.

I have a JSP that builds a table and shows the values in fields according to what has been passed to it through a request.setAttr ibute of a servlet.

For example the two dimensional array "test" has this data:

Col1 Col2 Col3
Row1 a b c
Row2 d e f



and JSP will read this from request variable and display it.

These values (a,d) are displayed as hyper links to a page testpage.jsp.

What I need to do is, when user clicks a , I need to set b and c in a variable array and pass it to the next page , or when user clicks d I need to pass e and f to next page.

1. Could you please tell me how to do that ?

2. Do I need Javascript/ Ajax ? or it can be done in Java?

3. How is it possible to access and change a request variable from JavaScript ?


Appreciate your help in advance

If you already know beforehand what will appear in the second and third column when rendering the page in JSP, you can set the URL of the first column data to include b and c or e and f, e.g. [HTML]<td><a href="testpage. jsp?field1=b&fi eld2=c">a</a></td>[/HTML]
