I want to save the dimensions. After the form is posted i call a servlet to
save the dimensions. I will look into using Ajax.
Appreciate the help.

It looks like a nasty and somewhat unsafe solution to some problem or
other. Is there a reason you need to submit the page at all?
If you're submitting the page to itself, AND using javascript, why not
just use the scripting to alter the contents of the hidden fields?
They can be uniquely identified on the page if you supply an id
attribute - you could modify them directly...
Alternatively, if you're just testing a concept at this stage, I'd
suggest that you could use an AJAX call to submit the page dimensions to
a backend during onloads execution.
