I am using HTML layer painter in Developer Studio (version 716) to build a user interface, and want to show the user id on the HTML page. Is there a way to use javascript to get the user id? Thanks in advance for your help. WebFOCUS 7.1.6 on Win 2K/IIS 6/ISAPI HTML | ||

I don't think it can be done that way. I believe that the username is something that gets passed on by the webserver to the server, not to the client, and so it is not available to the javascript that runs on the client side. I think the only way to do this is to code it in such a way that the server is being polled to provide the username. In other words, create a html page that will do nothing but fire off a fex which will collect the username and send it back in a new html page to the client. Your webserver and application server will have to be secure to accomplish this. GamP

You could use ASP if you know how to trap session variables. T

Yep, that'll do it. Or php, or jsp or ... doesn't really matter as long as it comes from the server. And our good old fine html painter just can't cope with that. GamP

The HTML Painter can code with it. Here is a logical example: Create an iframe, have it call a url to the fex,php,asp what every you want. the results should create some javascript the when loaded talks to the parent document setting the variable to the value you want. The iframe should be invisible so the user will not see it. Hope this gives you an idea on how to accomplish it in the HTML Layout Painter. Tex Scott  | |||

Learner, I never said you could use ASP in Dev Studio, but what you wanted to achieve could be done in ASP. You read more than I wrote  You would have to write the ASP yourself and then reference it as per TS above, or you could create your HTML in the painter and then convert it to ASP, or you could ........ utilise so many other methods, you only have to know what you want and how to do it using that language.

sorry i misinterrupted your meaning. You said "you could create your HTML in the painter and then convert it to ASP", I know how to create HTML in the painter in Dev Studio but don't know hwo to convert it to ASP. I have written ASP before so have some idea how that works. Could you kindly show that? WebFOCUS 7.1.6 on Win 2K/IIS 6/ISAPI HTML | |||

Learner, If you have created ASP and HTML before then you know the difference. It's that simple. T

To get the user id, several things must be in place.
If you are on a Windoes network with IIS as a webserver, the set up should be simple. Waz...

This is going on what WAZ said, why dont you set the following variable in the ibicommad.wfs or site.wfs REMOTE_USER=&WF_REMOTE_USER Then in your .fex put this in your define REMOTE_USER/A8='&REMOTE_USER'; WF 7.6.10 /IIS 6/ JBoss Enterprise 4.3 Windows XP SP 2/Windows 2003 Server MVS 7.3.3 | |||

Here is a working example of how it can be done on the client using javascript..... Must enable ActiveX controls however.
<%@ language="VBScript" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>wmi query</title>
<style>
.pi_ns
{
background-color:buttonface;
border-collapse:collapse;
margin-top:10px;
}
.pi_ns th
{
background-color:#d4e9ff;
font-weight:bold;
}
.pi_ns caption
{
font-size:16pt;
text-align:left;
font-weight:bold;
}
.pi_ns td,th
{
padding:5px;
border:1px solid buttonshadow;
}
</style>
<script>
function doquery()
{
var strComputer = ".";
var SWBemlocator = new ActiveXObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");
var objWMIService = SWBemlocator.ConnectServer(strComputer, "/root/CIMV2");
var strProcess;
var stuff;
var className = "WIN32_ComputerSystem"
var names = objWMIService.Get(className);
var colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM "+className);
e = new Enumerator(names.Properties_)
e2 = new Enumerator(colItems)
var propNames = new Array();
for(; ! e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
{
propNames.push(e.item().Name);
}
var output = ""
output += "<table class='pi_ns'>";
output += "<tr>";
for(var i=0;i<propNames.length;i++)
{
output += "<th>"+propNames[i]+"</th>";
}
output += "</tr>";
for(; ! e2.atEnd(); e2.moveNext())
{
output += "<tr>";
for(var i=0;i<propNames.length;i++)
{
output += "<td>"+eval("e2.item()."+propNames[i])+"</td>";
}
output += "</tr>";
}
output += "</table>";
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = output;
}
</script>
</head>
<body><%=now()%>
<div id="output">wait for it...</div>
<script>doquery();</script>
</body>
</html>
