Hi,

 

I am trying to use JavaScript Query Builder plugin (querybuilder.js.org) 
with web2py. The plugin is installed successfully and I can see the 
querybuilder object in my view. I want to finally pass the string 
containing the filters selected from the view to another controller 
function for further processing. The code I am using on the view is below:

 

<button onclick='myFunction();'>Get rules</button>

<script>

    function myFunction();{

        var result = 
JSON.stringify($('#builder-basic').queryBuilder('getRules'), null, 2);

        ajax('{{=URL('default', 'showfilters', 
vars=dict(result=result))}}', [], ':eval');

    }

</script>

 

I want to pass ‘result’ variable to ‘showfilters’ controller function and 
call ‘showfilters’ view on clicking on ‘Get rules’ button. But the above 
code doesn’t work and gives this error:

*<type 'exceptions.NameError'> name 'result' is not defined*

I understand this could be because 'result' variable is not defined in my 
controller function corresponding to this view. What is the correct way to 
pass the value of a variable declared through Java Script to a controller 
function in web2py?

Please help me here – I am novice to both web2py and Java Script and have 
been struggling with this for quite some time. I would prefer to pass the 
variable result through dictionary and not as an argument, as it will 
contain spaces and special characters which I want to preserve in the 
string.

Thanks,

Madhavi
