accessing a client side variable on the server side in the same JSP

I don't want to use a request.getParameter() because I don't want to do a post a hidden field onto the same form, is there any other way apart from posting the same form onto itself for accessing the client side variable on the server side in the same JSP, if anybody knows pls answer

It is not clear exactly what you are trying to do here- if you explain the situation - what you are trying to achieve- it may be a little easier to help.

To avoid hidden values on the server you could create a session variable or a cookie to carry the information, but I cannot say whether or not this will work without knowing what you are aiming to achieve.
