Have you put the end double quote?

onclick="pagetype('<%=uname%>')"

The error is a javascript error ? If it is, Is <%=uname%> visible in the page source?

Have you put something like <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> at the top of the jsp?

<%@ page language="java" contentType= "text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> <%@ page import =="java.util.Date,java.text.SimpleDateFormat,java.text.ParseException"%> <%@page import= "java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit" %> <%@ include file="dbconnect.jsp" %> <% --Connection to db-- while (rsp.next()){String date1 = rsp.getString("p");out.println(date1)}%>

If I'm passing some sting instead of <%=date1%> its working fine. – Kiran Feb 21 '13 at 13:50
Ya I was using <%=date1%>. but same error. But instead of sending a jsp variable, if I use a sting like onsubmit="alert2('sample');" then it working. – Kiran Feb 21 '13 at 17:45
