Passing jstl's foreach varStatus into javascript

Question

is this possible?

<c:forEach var="list" items="${requestScope.data}" varStatus="count">

<script>
myFunction(false,[]) // this is where i want to pass the `varStatus` on 2nd argument 
</script>

</c:forEach>

i've tried putting like :

myFunction(false,${count.index});
myFunction(false,<c:out value="${count.index}"></c:out>);

none of those worked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Please try these tests. They all work for me. But, using the name "count for varStatus is confusing. "count" is the name of the current 1-based iteration count in the LoopTagStatus interface.

<c:forEach var="list" items="a,b,c" varStatus="count">
    myFunction(false,${count.index}) <br/>
</c:forEach>

<c:forEach var="list" items="a,b,c" varStatus="status">
   myFunction(false,${status.index}) <br/>
</c:forEach>

<c:forEach var="list" items="a,b,c" varStatus="status">
    my Function(false,${status.count}) <br/>
</c:forEach>

<c:forEach var="list" items="a,b,c" varStatus="count">
    my Function(false,${count.count}) <br/>
</c:forEach>
