I have a jsp page with multiple links created inside a loop. All the links go to exactly one another jsp page. In the second jsp page I need to find out which link was clicked in the first jsp page. How can I do that ? Is there any way after clicking a link in the first jsp page I can set an attribute instantly, so that in the second page I can get that attribute to determine which link was clicked ?

Here is my code of the loop with the links -- http://pastebin.com/J3JGu5jD

<%  

    System.out.println(Going inside loop);

    for(int i = 0; i < n_row ; i++)

    {

        course_name = dbManager.get_course_name(teachers_course_id_list[i]);

        course_id = teachers_course_id_list[i];

%>

        table = '<tr><td> <a href=MarkDistribution1.jsp?course_id_QSparam             

        ='+<%=course_id%>+'>'+ <%=course_id%> + ': ' + <%=course_name%>+'</td>  

        </a></tr>'

        document.write(table);

<%

    }

%>

PS: Another question. I have a string variable link. is this the proper way to assign it to the javascript variable --- javascript_variable = <%=link%> ?
