I am trying to pass a value from a fex to a html page. Can I do it using !IBI.AMP ? Below is the code I have been trying to use.

function onInitialUpdate() {

var box3 = document.getElementById('combobox3');
var search_value = '!IBI.AMP.SEARCH_VALUE;';


if (box3 !== null & search_value == '!IBI.AMP.SEARCH_VALUE;' ) {
box3.style.backgroundColor = "red";
}

//if (box3 !== null) {
// box3.selectedvalue = "D_CUST5";
//}
}
//End function onInitialUpdate

This is a different question then posed earlier. The earlier one, I was trying to pass a paramter to a textbox. The was figured out. I was adding it in the wrong property. This one am trying to use it within javascript.

Why don't you populate a hidden control with a fex. Then you can get the value out of the control:
 
function onInitialUpdate() {

var search_value = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('combobox3');
...


You can find documentation on the HTML Composer JS API functions under Using JavaScript Code With HTML Composer Pages

BTW put your code in the [code ] [/code ] tags so it is easier to read Big Grin .

Instead of a hidden control, I usually use a hidden text box so that I can show/hide it as needed when testing. Also, if you are using forms and hidden controls I have had some weird issues with reports in Chrome. Text boxes work much nicer.
