set value of jquery variable equal to a jstl variable

Question

I have a jstl value,

<c:forEach items="${detail}" var="u">
<c:set value="${u.content}" var="c"/></c:forEach>

I want to set the variable in jquery equal to the var = "c".

How could I do that?

Answer 1

the method given in the below code might be correct but the variable whatever would have only one value that also only during the last count of the for each loop would exist

<script>
    <c:forEach items="${detail}" var="u">
        <c:set value="${u.content}" var="c"/>
        var whatever = ${c};
    </c:forEach>
<script>

for instance if the loop for the variable detail is of list type that consists of string type objects in it like "A" , "B" ,"C" then in the case the value of the var whatever will be "C", this is because jstl is compile time language.

So the above code won't work in for each loop the following code might help you out or atleast provide you a idea for same.

<script>
    var whatever = new Array;
    <c:forEach items="${detail}" var="u">
        <c:set value="${u.content}" var="c"/>
        for (var i=0;i<whatever.length;i++)
        {
            whatever[i]=${c};
        }
    </c:forEach>
<script>
