Re: Witango-Talk: Javascript to Witango

Steve,

I want to help you out on this, but after reading your post a couple of times I still don't quite understand what you're trying to do.

First let me clarify that you are NOT refering to using the server side _javascript_ feature of Witango, right?

I you simply want popup.taf to receive the value of info when it generates the code page that shows up in the popup window, you just need to do the following...

<A HREF="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="_javascript_:popupwin('popup.taf','returns',750,500);">"_javascript_:popupwin('popup.taf','returns',750,500);" >Return Policy</A>

and the _javascript_ code is:

function popupwin(file,info,x,y) {
var winName = info + "xxxxx"; // Move this up before you build the URL
{var fileInfo = file +"?<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>&infoArg="+info;}; // To pass the variable as an argument to the witango server
var xMax = screen.width, yMax = screen.height;
var xSiz = x, ySiz = y;
var xPos = (xMax - xSiz)/2, yPos = (yMax - ySiz)/5;
infoFile = window.open(fileInfo,winName,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=" + xSiz + ",height=" + ySiz + ",screenX=" + xPos + ",screenY=" + yPos + ",left=" + xPos + ",top=" + yPos);
}

Now, on the server side in popup.taf if you want to access info as a "variable" you just need to do the assignment from an ARG.

<@assign scope=request name=r_myvarname value=<@ARG infoArg>>

I know this is basically the same response that Gene gave, the only thing that I've added is showing how to access that arg as a variable on the server?

If this isn't what you're looking for, try to explain the problem one more time...

/John

No, I'm still waiting for an answer. I have created a workaround that involved three separate files but I would like to condense that down to one file that can use the value coming from the _javascript_ parameter.

Are you looking for the same thing or do you have a possible solution for me?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Steve, did you ever get your question answered?

No I think what I'm trying to do is the reverse of what you are describing. I want to take the value of the 'info' parameter that is passed when the _javascript_ is called (i.e. returns) and pass it into the taf that I am calling. I have created a popup.taf that will display shipping information, returns information, and taxes information. I have set up methods for each in my tcf. I want to pass the value that is in 'info' into a Witango variable and use it in the <@CALL...> tag such as:

<@CALLMETHOD local$product "<@VAR NAME='request$r_myvarname'>" ENCODING=NONE>

so that when the value 'returns' is passed in the 'info' parameter, like so:

<A HREF="">"_javascript_:popupwin('popup.taf','returns',750,500);" >Return Policy</A>

I end up with:

<@CALLMETHOD local$product "returns" ENCODING=NONE>

So another way of asking my question is how to I get the value of what is in 'info' into <@VAR NAME='request$r_myvarname'>?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

When you are creating your VAR, include the value of the variable you want to send to your program and code it as an arg. For example,

{var fileInfo = file +"?yMax="+yMax+"&<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>";};

Hope this is what you're looking for.

Subject: Witango-Talk: _javascript_ to Witango

Forgive my basic level question but how can I pass a _javascript_ variable to Witango? I'm calling a script that creates a popup and when I call it I pass some parameters. I'd like one of those parameters to be a value that I can assign to a Witango variable that will be used within the popup.

The calling code is:

<A HREF="">"_javascript_:popupwin('popup.taf','returns',750,500);" >Return Policy</A>

and the _javascript_ code is:

function popupwin(file,info,x,y) {
{var fileInfo = file +"?<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>";};
var winName = info + "xxxxx";
var xMax = screen.width, yMax = screen.height;
var xSiz = x, ySiz = y;
var xPos = (xMax - xSiz)/2, yPos = (yMax - ySiz)/5;
infoFile = window.open(fileInfo,winName,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=" + xSiz + ",height=" + ySiz + ",screenX=" + xPos + ",screenY=" + yPos + ",left=" + xPos + ",top=" + yPos);
}

I want to take the value from the 'info' parameter and assign it to a Witango variable.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
