Hi all,
	is there anyway to get a handle on the request object?
For example
	
	HttpServletRequest request;
	function setValueOnRequestObject(ele) {
		//ele = a form element
		var req = this.request;
		req.setAttribute("ele_val", ele.value);
		window.location.href = requestAction.do;
	}

<input type="hidden" name="someId" value="some_id">
<a onclick="setValueOnRequest(someId);">set the id</a>

The situation in which I would use something like this would be when I
have a form
Action defined and would like to have other actions happen depending on
what was clicked

Using the Jakarta Struts framework I can't pass values using get.  None
of this <a href="somepage.jsp?id=<%= someId %>">
I hope my question is clear
tia
