Brad,
Since you have JavaScript in the mix, you should consider the JSON data
structure standards to cache your data. Just a suggestion..
http://json.org/
This does look like the best way to go. I've hacked together some code
to build the JSON based on 4D data, but am running into a problem when
trying to set the cookie with Javascript. I create an Active4D variable
named $json. I've inspected the variable closely and it is valid JSON
based on the grammar at json.org.
Here's an example of the JSON containing the "clipboard" data
{
"component_name":"Gizmo",
"component_descript":"This is a test",
"component_cost_usd":"100",
"manufacturer":"Acme Widgets",
"manuf_address":"123 The Acme Way\r\nCity of Industry, CA\r\n90601",
"manuf_model_num":"GZ5000",
"manuf_model_name":"The Super Gizmo (tm)",
"manuf_part_num":"",
"property_owner":"",
"export_ctl_class_num":"EAR99",
"ops_tracking_code":"",
"calibration_flag":"0",
"calib_interval_days":"",
"locationkey":"33",
"location":"At Facility"
}
If I click on the button coded below, the Cookie is not set and the Javascript
console reveals an error.
<input type="button" value="Copy Data"
onClick="Set_Cookie('PARTS_CLIP','<%= $json %>',1);" />
I'm trying the pass the cookie name, JSON, and expire interval to a
Javascript function that sets the cookie. I've tested the function with
a normal text cookie value and it works. If I try to pass the JSON the
javascript chokes. It doesn't seem to like that the string in $json
starts with an "{". Is that because the string is executable Javascript?
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks,
Brad
