Have you put the end double quote?

onclick="pagetype('<%=uname%>')"

The error is a javascript error ? If it is, Is <%=uname%> visible in the page source?

Have you put something like <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> at the top of the jsp?

Yes.. <%@ page contentType= "text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ page language="java" contentType= "text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ page language="java" contentType= "text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> <%@ page import =="java.util.Date,java.text.SimpleDateFormat,java.text.ParseException"%> <%@page import= "java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit" %> <%@ include file="dbconnect.jsp" %> <html> <% --Connection to db-- while (rsp.next()){String date1 = rsp.getString("p");out.println(date1)}%> <body><form action="" method="post" onsubmit="alert2('<%=date1');"> </html>
<script>function alert2(getid){ var id=get id; window.alert(id);}</script>
If I'm passing some sting instead of <%=date1%> its working fine.

  1. String date1 is inside a loop. You won't be able to get its value outside.
  2. change alert2('<%=date1'); to alert2('<%= date1 %>');
