Web Development: how to access a variable from an embedded c code to javascript?

Question

I'm new to web development and I'm using AppWebServer to AppWeb to host my website. AppWeb provides ESP (Embedded Server Pages) that is used to create web applications. You may embed a C code.

Now my problem is. I have a javascript code and a C Code, I need to access a variable from the C code and use it in javascript, the question is how do I do that?

I am thinking that even if I declare the variable as global, I wont still be able to access.

Maybe start by reading the documentation? Section about modules seems promising: appwebserver.org/products/appweb/doc-4/guide/appweb/programmers/… — user694733

You can create a hidden input type using HTML and insert the variable you want with something like <input type="hidden" id="something" value <%=function in c that returns your variable%>" /> and then access it with your JavaScript using getElementById("something")
