Answer 1

You should try this , if you are assigning string value then use ' ' or " " . For Number value what you wrote was correct .

var audition = "<%=(String) currentItr.next()%>.<%=(String) currentItr.next()%>";

Answer 2

@LandLane Why don't you set this scriptlet value into hidden text box, and call the value from JS. How do you calling the javascript from java? If you are using logic:iterate tag means there may be n number of values like nicholas. Post your code, unless nobody can't diagnose it.
