You can compare javascript variable with java string but reverse is not possible in JSP.

In javscript convery the variable to upper case and compare. You can use value.toUpperCase() to convert a variable to upper case in Javascript.

Get the value of java string in one javascript var, and then compare them.
e.g.
var value = yourJavaString;
if(value.toLowerCase() == jsVarToCompare.toLowerCase()) {
//your code
}

For more clarity on how to get recieve value in javascript :

<% String strJavaString = "javaranch"; %> <script language="javascript"> function yourFunction(){ var jsString = 'JAVARANCH'; var jsStringFromJava = '<%=strJavaString %>'; // check equality as told by Mahesh } </script>
