Changing parameters in javascript

[danparker276]

this should be simple, but can I change parameters like the url coming
in:

www.testpage.com?test1=a

<script>
document.setParam("test1", "b");

</script>

something like that? I want the parameter to change based on the code

The `type' attribute is required in HTML 4:

document.setParam("test1", "b");

</script>

something like that?

No, something very different from that.

I want the parameter to change based on the code

Please elaborate. Why do you think this is necessary?

The .jsp is using struts logic based on a parameter that is passed in.

I want to read from a cookie and change that parameter (if needed).


I don't use javascript that much and can't think right now, it must be
simple.

So? JSP is no JavaScript Pages, it is Java ServerPages. Written
in an entirely different language; one not discussed here.

I want to read from a cookie and change that parameter (if needed).

Not understood. Do you want to change the cookie data with client-side
script?

Most certainly.

All I'm asking if you can change the value of a parameter passed in
from the url.

"http://www.testpage.com?test1=a"

I want to change the value of "test1" from "a" to "b".
Can I do this with javascipt?

Actually I'll just do it in real java.

Thanks for the atitude, howd you like it if I shoved one of your pointy
ears up your butt.

If the page is generated by JSP, the Javascript won't exist until
after the .jsp file has executed.

Changing any part of the URL with client-side code will cause the
new URL to be loaded, which is probably not what you want.

Ask a confused question and you get a confusing answer.
