Hi,
I have a problem which I hope someone can help me with. I have an jsp page which also has some javascript in. The idea is that when a user presses a button on the page a busy cursor appears(java script) and some text appears to show the progress or status.
I have the javascript to do this and I have tested the jsp, but not sure how I link them both together??? The jsp creates a threaded class which provides an interface to for current percentage and current state.
Hope someone can help.
AJAX allows you to transfer data from client to server, which might be the appropriate solution in this case.
Never used AJAX before ; (
The jsp lives on the server though??? The javascript on the client? Its the java in the jsp that has the thread which has the data updating in time. Correct me if I am wrong... Guess I will still need to use AJAX? I will have a search on the net.
Thanks for your help.
Ajax allows the client to access the server through javascript by simply loading and getting the contents of a web page...useful in situations like this, for example you write a servlet that the AJAX accesses, and since the servlet is server side it can access the appropriate data and send it back to the client.
Sounds good. Exactly what I need. Do you know of any good tutorials and samples. Or is best I just do a search.Quote:
