Opening new window with parameter in javascript

Question

I have below javascript function . I am trying to open a jsp in new window and pass some values from this function :

function editStudent(fname){
    alert("hi");
    var editWindow = window.open("studentEdit.jsp?fname="+fname, " ", "width=300,height=300");
    editWindow.focus();
}

Above javascript function will be called on button click. New window is opening but the parameter is returning 'null' in the studentEdit.jsp

How are you calling your `editStudent` function? Can you show — putvande, May 03 '17 at 16:42
Does fname have a value? You can change alert("hi") to alert("fname="+fname). — Kevin Collins, May 03 '17 at 16:46
fname is having value and alert("fname="+fname) is displaying value also but in the new window 'studentEdit.jsp' value of 'fname' is coming as null — ANITI, May 03 '17 at 16:49
Whats the code that picks the value from the URL in studentEdit.jsp? — putvande, May 03 '17 at 16:51
So maybe thats where the issues is as you say the alert gives you a value for `fname` and the rest of the JS looks all valid. — putvande, May 03 '17 at 16:54
@putvande But I need to display the value of 'fname' in text box in studentEdit.jsp .How do I acheive this ? — ANITI, May 03 '17 at 16:57
I don't know anything about jstl to be honest, thats why I tagged your question with it so maybe someone else can help you with that. — putvande, May 03 '17 at 17:08

It sounds like you need:

<input type="text" name="fname" value="${param.fname}">
