Need to display javascript value in anchor tag of jsp

I need to pass the userid variable through anchor tag .. Here I attached code for that.
Code :
<td colspan="2" align="right"><div align="center">User Id</div></td>
<td><input class="textbox" type="text" id="userid" ><a href="access.jsp?userid='+userid'"
"></a></td></tr>
Javascript :
var userid ="MK";// this value is getting fetched correctly using document.getElementByName
Just I need to display in anchor tag.How can I do this?

Please, try to be more clear with your Question.
You should show all related parts of your code so people can figure out what exactly you need.
Also Stackoverflow provides some markup so you can insert blocks of code - very useful, I recommend looking it up :)
Assuming you already have the anchor <a> tag
HTML
JS
// your code (fetching data) ...
document.getElementById('anchor').setAttribute('href', 'google.com?userid=" + userid)

Display data in HTML form when loaded

N00b alert; I know enough to be dangerous, so forgive my ignorance...I've been through all of the related questions here and elsewhere, but I just can't seem to comprehend the answer that's surely included in the responses :-(
I'm posting a record id to a page where I want a form to display with the contents of the related record. I'm getting the record in correctly (confirmed using the alert) with this script in the HEAD section (jquery 1.9 is called as well):
<script type="text/javascript">
function getSelectedCustomer () {
...use the id to get the right record...
databaseAPI.callback = function() {
if (databaseAPI.error) {
alert("Database Error: " + databaseAPI.error);
}
else {
var customerRecord = databaseAPI.result;
alert("Test Callback: " + new String(customerRecord.full_name));
$("#quoteForm").load(customerRecord);
}
return;
};
databaseAPI.ajaxGet();
}
window.onload = getSelectedCustomer;
</script>
...and the form in the BODY to be loaded:
<form method="post" id="quoteForm" action="process_quote.php">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><input type="text" value="<?php $customerRecord['full_name']; ?>" name="full_name"></td>
</tr>
...other bits of the form...
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
I know I'm incorrectly munging various things together. Can someone please get me straightened out on what to do?
Michael's answer solved the INPUT fields in the form. Didn't mention I had SELECT fields as well:
<select size="0" name="email_sent">
<option value="No">No</option>
<option value="Yes">Yes</option>
</select>
Changing INPUT to SELECT works.

What your missing is where code is being executed. The PHP code is being executed on the server, before being sent to the browser. The Javascript is then rendered by the browser. You can't pass variables back and forth between Javascript and PHP.
You want to inject the name with Javascript. I see you're already using jQuery, so the heavy lifting is already done for you. Remove the value="<?php $customerRecord['full_name']; ?>" from the PHP file, and replace $("#quoteForm").load(customerRecord); with $("#quoteForm input[name='full_name']").val(customerRecord.full_name);
Should work, might need some variation depending on your exact circumstances. At least it should put you down the right path.

JS verify form data inside ajax-returned html

Ajax-returned HTML includes a table and a submit button (type=button)
The table includes jQuery routine to clone table row (each row allows choosing/uploading one file, and has two values: <input type="text"> for doc title, and <input type="file">.
<table id="MyTable">
<tr name="tr3" id="tr3">
<td>
<input type="text" name="dt[]" id="dt1">
</td>
<td>
<input type="file" name="fff[]" id="ff1">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="button" name="sub1" id="sub1" value="Submit" onclick="checkform();">
Upon form submit, I must check that each doc title has been filled-in, so the submit button calls a javascript routine:
function checkform()
{
if(document.updateprojectdocs.dt[0].value=='')
{
alert("Fields marked with an asterisk are required.");
document.updateprojectdocs.dt[0].focus();
return;
}
document.getElementById("TheForm").submit();
}
Of course, this does not work (script dies before form submit -- but submits if I remove the preceeding if structure). Can anyone tell me why and how to fix?
Also, there will be an indeterminate number of dt[] fields to check. How could I structure a loop to do this? I suspect jQuery's .find().each() could be used, but not sure what that would look like?
UPDATES:
Thanks to DaHaKa's response below, I am closer to a solution. I mod'd DaHaKa's suggested code into jQuery.
I was having trouble communicating with DaHaKa - for some reason his responses were not appearing until long, long, long after he posted them (the problem was probably on my end). While I was waiting (hours), I posted part of the problem in another question and ended up resolving it there. That other question grew into the FULL CORRECT ANSWER, and I direct future viewers there. Note that user thecodeparadox created a working JSFiddle of the full solution.
I have awarded this question to DaHaKa as he was more than willing and able to assist, but comm problems intervened. Thanks again, D.

In this case jQuery each function isn't neccessary, you can do it simple like this =>
try
<table id="MyTable">
<tr name="tr3" id="tr3">
<td>
<input type="text" name="dt" id="dt1">
</td>
<td>
<input type="file" name="fff" id="ff1">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="button" name="sub1" id="sub1" value="Submit">
JavaScript
document.getElementById("sub1").onclick = function(){
if (document.getElementById("dt1").value!=""){
document.getElementById("TheForm").submit();
} else {
alert("Empty Field(s) !");
}
};
you should use ids in JavaScript from html tags , NOT NAME tags
And whats about you file input , you could understand it from your server side scripting language like php , with super global variables $_FILES['file']['error'] types

to retain values in form using struts tags and dynamic behaviour through Javascript

I have a JSP page containing a ADD button to add the rows(a HTML code) via Javascript.
I now need to retain the value in my form by replacing the codes in JSP by struts-tags.
How should I then communicate from struts-tags and JS. Since all the HTML code lies in JS, how should it use struts-tags???
Please help!!

Your question is too vague to give an appropriate answer. However, I recently did something similar to this so I will try and give you a few guidelines.
1.) If you are hoping to populate these rows with information from the server this will require an ajax call. Most likely to an action that returns a snippet of jsp containing only a table row.
I suggest avoiding the struts2-jquery plugin for this unless you already are using it in your application. I would just use jQuery - http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
2.) If you wish to gather user input in these rows you will just have to make sure to use appropriate naming for your fields.
Eg: In your java action you have a List< String > names.
You would need to generate the following html via js.
<tbody>
<tr>
<input type="text" name="names[0]">
</tr><tr>
<input type="text" name="names[1]">
</tr><tr>
<input type="text" name="names[2]">
</tr>
</tbody>
3.) If you wish to keep track of the number of added rows you could use this in your jsp...
<s:hidden name="rowsCount" id="rowsCount" value="0">
then within your javascript change the value of that input.
Hope one of those 3 helped!

Update textfield based on combobox selection using JQuery - accessing list problem

I have a Spring MVC application, use JSP+JQuery for view, and what I need is to, based on combo box selection (which gets me an index of element in list) to populate text field.
listProduct - list of products that is in the model
<form:form method="POST" commandName="productForm" name="insertRacun">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="ui-widget">Product:</td>
<td><form:select path="productListId" id="productCombobox">
<form:options items="${listProduct}"itemLabel="name" itemValue="productId"/>
</form:select>
</td>
<td class="ui-widget">Product price:</td>
<td><form:input path="priceList"
class="ui-widget ui-widget-content" id="priceInput" />
</td>
<script type="text/javascript">
var comboIndex = $("#productCombobox").val();
$("#priceInput").val(${listProduct[comboIndex].price})
});
</script>
My question is: When i put number in listProduct[] i.e. listProduct[0] it works just fine and price field gets populated, but when i want put "comboIndex" in brackets, it does nothing.
If there is another solution (not using JQuery), please post it

You are mixing client and server side code. You cannot pass a JS variable to your server code, as your server code is parsed before the page has been served up to the client.
You will need to pass the price corresponding to a particular product ID to the client by other means.

The relevant code (probably in a change event handler) should reference productCombobox selectedIndex instead:
var comboIndex = $("#productCombobox").attr("selectedIndex"); //
$("#priceInput").val(${listProduct[comboIndex].price});
