Hello Marwa, The answer provided by Thiago is much simpler. Just put your data in a data attribute of a tag and then use the tutorial ajax and zones to send this data to a server side event handler. If you want to do it automatically without triggering a javascript event, just put you script in an on document ready event, to make sure your javascript code is called once the page is rendered and loaded by the browser.
===> in html page <div id=“myId” data-mydata=“mydata"></div> ===> javascript at the end of html page $(function() { var dataToSend = $(‘#myId’).data(‘mydata’); ajax(‘pageData', { data: dataToSend, // This doesn't need to be the same element as the one two lines above // Callback called when the request is finished. // response.json is the object returned by the event handler method success: function(response) { alert('sent to server'); } }); }); =====> in java page JSONObject onPageData() { return new JSONObject("origin", "componentAction"); } You can use jquery or something else.
