Hi Joel, You can use JavaScript to send and parse RQL, all my plugins are using this method
https://github.com/jhuangsoftware/j-rql-connector-https For example, AutoFileName, a plugin that automatically set headline as published file name upon viewing the page first time https://github.com/jhuangsoftware/AutoFileName Anyways, without diving into RQL, yes you can use JavaScript to grab the project name, and your code is really close, but you have to understand that the CMS UI is a nested nest of iframes. The SmartTree or SmartEdit area is just an frame within another frame within another frame. Yes, frame not iframe. <frame name="ioTreeIFrame"> is 3 frames nested, so var TheRealUIContainerPage = parent.parent.parent.document; var ProjectLabelText = $(TheRealUIContainerPage ).find('#ctl00_ctl00_ctl00__bodyPlaceHolder__infoMenu_2 .ca_tb_txt').text(); Please note that I can be wrong with the 3 level nesting, maybe more, and also, the projectlabeltext might be within another frame. But it is just javascript at that point.
