Assign JavaScript variable to Java variable

I am trying to assign an element of a JavaScript two dimensional array to a Java String variable. The
element is a number but I want to assign it as a string but as there's no JavaScript string datatype
it seems to cause problems. This variable must be contained in a Java String variable as we are using
WebSphere classes and it will not accept it otherwise.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:
String content=two_dim[0][6];
two_dim is my JavaScript array.
Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like you might be mixing server and client side processing.
If you're doing this in a JSP, on the client machine the data can only be assigned to a Java variable by submitting it to the server. It cannot be directly assigned between the two.
Dave.

You say that I must submit it to the server - how do I do this??
Sample code would be appreciated if possible!!

Are you trying to commmunicate between an applet and javascript? If so, then it is possible to accomplish this.
If you are trying to communicate between JS(executing on a client browser) and Servlet/JSP running on an application server, i guess the scheme you are following is not correct.
More description of your problem and sample code that you have been using to do this, would help fellow ranchers help you further!

Ok I'm back again...regarding the problem that I had back in May...I got over that by avoiding it basically (found another way around it) but it has reared it's head again.
I am using IBM's websphere and in one JSP I am calling the JavaScript function showModalDialog as follows:
window.showModalDialog("LaunchDialogWindow",part_details,"dialogWidth:21;dialogHeight:22")
LaunchDialogWindow is the name of the JSP(dialog window) that I'm calling and it does this ok... part_details is a JavaScript array that I'm passing in. The problem is that in the dialog window JSP I can pick up the array as a JavaScript array but I need it in Java as I want to call Java methods passing in these variables as Java - not JavaScript. In other words I want to call a Java finder method which takes Java variables as parameters but I only have these variables in JavaScript. I need to convert them!!
Is there any way of passing it into the new JSP but pick the array or variables up as Java rather than JavaScript.
If not then I'm going to have to amend the whole application to pass the array in as Java rather than JavaScript but would like to avoid this if at all possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to pass the array in as GET parameters in your HTTP request a la:
my.jsp?array=value&array=value2&array=value3
Then you can pick the array values up like this in your jsp page:
String[] array = request.getParameter("array"); //do something with my array
