How to use scriptlet inside javascript

Question

Can someone test this example and share the results? http://timothypowell.net/blog/?p=23
When I do:

var myVar = \'<% request.getContextPath(); %>\'         


        

Answer 1

var myVar = '<%=request.getContextPath() %>';
alert(myVar);

You forgot to out put = before request and remove ; after getContextPath()
