This is going to be a stupid question but i need to ask it.
PS: this is an old practice but i need it this way.
In scriptlet I have a variable status.

 <%

   String status=bean.getStatus();

   //Status value is coming from database which is either 1 or 0(String type)

 %>

In a form I have radio button.

<tr>

<td> Status :</td>

<td>Active

            <input type=radio name=status checked=checked id=statusAct value=1 />

    Inactive

           <input type=radio name=status id=statusInac value=0/>

</tr>

If status==1 I want radio button with id=statusAct to be selected and if status==0 then radio with id=statusInac to be selected.

I can use javascript or Jquery but I don't know how to put Java variable inside javascript function.
