Has anyone passed an &variable in HTML through the push-buttons? Do you use an onclick event? We have no idea how to create an &var that WebFocus will understand. There is no 'input' statement to use, only the 'request' statement.

Are you calling WebFOCUS from a form action? If so, all the parameters in the form - input boxes, select boxes, radio buttons, etc will be passed as &variables to WebFOCUS. What exactly are you trying to do?

Fnu,

If you're using a form action it's like Francis said. Alle objects will be passed as &vars to WF. If you're not using a formaction, you can still use a java script on an onclick event and pass the request together with the variable to WF.

Regards,

We are not using forms. We are submitting the request thru

There is an onclick, but I have no idea what to put in it so that WebFocus will recognize an &var. Normally, it would be in an statement with the Servlet.

Fnu :
Even if there are no data entry/selection options on your screen, you can always pass static data variables from a HTML screen by using



In more complex situations where the value is determined on specific conditions, you could use an onClick event on the button, that will execute an javascript function and assign values to the field as appropriate.
