hi
sorry,
i forgot to say that it is jsp file which has button and when it is
pressed by user it should call
java class' method
when i used the following line:
<input type=button name="RunUpgrade" value="Run Upgrade"
onClick=<%requester.Start();%>
the procedure started when the page is loaded...

BTW, i am coding in java\jsp\html for one month, so please be patient
:)

thanks in advance,
yfreife

Yes, the JSP runs on the server, the content is transmitted to the
browser. At that point the Java code has finished. The browser does
not "see" the JSP code.

Is that what you meant by '..trying to call java class method
from button onClick method.'?

I thought you were talking about an applet.

No, you cannot call a method/class in your JSP from
JavaScript, not directly, like I guess you mean.

What is it you are actually trying to do for your
user? There may be better ways.
