Is there any possibility how to change HTML
(.jsp) page without refreshing
it?
Usecase is that user writes something to textarea then hits
Using jQuery
(a JavaScript library) you can utilize the load()
function to load the contents of another HTML file on your server and place it anywhere you want on the current page without refreshing (so you can even replace the current HTML if you like).
jQuery:
http://jquery.com/
jQuery load():
http://api.jquery.com/load/
Alternative Suggestion:
However, I know you say you can't refresh the page, but, if the only reason is because you need to keep the text in the textbox, you could use a form to POST
that text to another .jsp
page (or even the same .jsp
page, depending on how you go about it) where it will be available to you to use at your own discretion (to put it in another textbox, for example).
