Hello,

I am having troubles passing variables to javascript. I have been doing some research and other sites say to first pass it to a cgi. Can I pass it to java? How? Or is there a way where my code will work? Below is what I currently am using which doesn't work. Any help you can provide me would be great.

In this example if I change the method from post to get it works but then I would have security problems because it is in the URL.

<!-- javauser.htm-->
<html>
<body>
Post by clicking "Submit"
<form method="POST" action="showuser.htm">
<input type="text" name="user_id" size="50">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

<!--showuser.htm"-->
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function showuser(){
valuFromQueryString = window.location.search;

document.write("<html>");
document.write("<head>");
document.write("<title>DCS - Applet</title>");
document.write("</head>");
document.write("<body bgcolor='#C0C0C0'>");
document.write("<p>");
document.write("["+valuFromQueryString+"]");
document.write("</p>");
document.write("</body>");
document.write("</HMTL>");

return false;
}
// End -->
</script>

<html>
<head>
<title>Show User</title>
</head>
<body onload="showuser()">
</body>
</html>

you can not pass one pages data to another using post.you will need get..if you do want to use post method then you will need to use some server side programming language to process the form data..
etc.Java(servlets or jsp),PHP,ASP
