FAQ Topic - How do I get a jsp/php variable into
client-side javascript?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the server-side language to generate the javascript:
// JSP
var jsvar = "${ jspVar }";
// PHP
var jsvar = "<?php echo $phpVar ?>";
If the string contains a quote mark, it will have to be escaped.
If the an inline-script tag is used, and the string must not
contains characters such as ` < `, ` > `, ` & `.

That sentence sounds strange. Maybe something like this is better:
"If inline script tag is used, the string must not contain characters
such as '<', '>' and '&'"
