Javascript functioncall

[MarkoKlacar]

Hi,

Can anyone shed some light on statements that look like this:

<html:submit onClick="varble = true; othervariable = false"/>

The code is from a .jsp page, other things you should know is that it uses Java, Struts and WLS.

Any help appreciated.

What do you need to know about it?

<html:submit onClick="varble = true; othervariable = false"/>

so <html:submit>

makes a submit button I can only assume

and onClick.. that means when the button is clicked it sets two global variables because the word var isn't infront of the variables.

Hi,

I figured that much, problem is I can't seem to find the variables declared anywhere...

Is that type of call common?

The code tells about the Html struts tags.To include it in the jsp we need to write

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>

now as per the attributes here
These codes usually works in the server side as you have to define actions related means when you submit the form

[gits]

those variables are set onclick of the submit button and should be accessible globally from javascript until the page is submitted ... because this will reload the page unless there is any other code that avoids the submit.

while the onclick is common i would say the use of globals is common for beginners and should be avoided whenever possible ...

kind regards
