JSP, jquery and HTML : use form post data in ajax call.

Here is what I want to do (this is the way I am doing, if there is any better way please suggest).

Page 1 (jsp) : accept form data. jquery binds the submit for form button. validates input and then submits.

Page 2 (jsp) : static HTML is loaded. Now, using the data submitted as part of form on page1, I want to make a ajax call (jquery) which will populate page2 dynamic part. 

<% out.println(request.getParameter("someparam"));%>

above doesnt work inside script tag.

so one option : get these form variables in the jsp. set some hidden variables and then in jquery process those form variable.

Any better option?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but seems like you're making an AJAX call to a JSP page and displaying the response/HTML. With the out.println, you seem to be printing a request param of the AJAX call into a script tag within the HTML. It's difficult to say what's wrong without sample code.

Since you're looking for a better alternative to this, I would highly recommend using a client-side templating engine and exchanging only data (json, xml) with the server-side. This would help reduce data transfered as well as improve responsiveness of the front-end.

Consider using Backbone or AngularJS, and refactoring the server-side to exchange data/JSON with the browser.
