Re: JavaScript question

I sure don't know the answer to your question, but I know where I'd
begin:

a) If you don't get an answer here, try asking in the HWG-Languages
group, which specializes in programming languages like JavaScript.

b) JSP stands for Javascript Server Pages, right? Never used them. BUT
I have used forms to submit information to server-side programs (CGIs),
and I'd bet that you need to do something similar.

So look into whatever JSP manuals you have and see how to submit
information from a form. (Please forgive me if I'm covering stuff you
already know!!) With form submissions to CGIs, this generally looks
like <form action="../cgi/PerlScript.cgi" method="post">. Then the
attribute of the form (the named fields and their values) get sent to
the file named in Action.

I would *guess* that you need to do something similar.

I hope that helps, which would be amazing since I don't know JSP from a
brick,
