I have many hyperlinks in my jsp page. Whichever link is clicked I want to store it's text in a variable. And then pass that variable.

XML

out.println("<a href=\"'+ webTempPath + '/1.mp3\">");
out.println(files);
out.println("</a>");

I have fetched the text values and made them links using the aboe code. As I have many links I want, whichever link is clicked I want that to be played.

instead of 1.mp3 that link's text to passed.Can anyone help me out.

This is client-side matter, just use JavaScript or jQuery will do. Adapt from this sample code:

XML

<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("links").on("click", "a", function(e){
        e.preventDefault(); // cancel redirecting
        var txt = $(e.target).text();
        alert(txt);
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div class="links">

<%
out.println("<a href=\'"+ webTempPath + "/1.mp3\'>");
out.println(files);
out.println("</a>");
%>

<%-- other hyperlinks --%>

</div>

</body>
</html>
