[SOLVED] Pass parameters from one html page to an embedded proc in another html

Hi,

I have a html page that accepts input from users. And then on a button click opens another html url. I have an embedded procedure on the second html page that needs the input from the previous page. I can pass the params using ?param1=xyz, but not sure how to pass that to the embedded procedure. Any ideas on how this can be achieved?

Thanks,
Nam

Use server side processing to apply the string to hidden controls. You could use any server side process such as WebFOCUS, ASP, JSP etc, etc.

Hi Nam,

I use little pieces of javascript to do exactly that.
the following code just shows on the page whatever is to the right of the ? mark in the url (these are the parameters of the page), you can of course modify the script to filter out whatever you need and apply it to whatever you want on your page.
     <script>
      var locate = window.location;
      document.user.naam.value = locate;
      var text = document.user.naam.value;
      var params=text.indexOf("?");
      document.write(text.substring(params+1,text.length)); 
     </script>

Hope this helps ...

Hi GamP,

Thanks a lot for your reply!
I used a similar script as below to read the param and bind it to a text box which in turn is assigned to the procedure. You helped me reassure javascript is the right choice here.

 
function window_onload() {
UpdateData();
fullURL = parent.document.URL;
val = fullURL.substring(fullURL.indexOf('?')+8, fullURL.length);
edit1.value=val;
}


Yet another problem I have is the procedure executes at the same time the text box is populated so it does not get the value when it executes. Below is the code. Please let me know how I can get the procedure to run with the param passed in.

 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HtmlPage</TITLE>

<SCRIPT id=clientEventHandlersJS type=text/javascript>
//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {
UpdateData();
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
fullURL = parent.document.URL;
val = fullURL.substring(fullURL.indexOf('?')+8, fullURL.length);
RECORD_LOCATOR.value=val;
}
//End function window_onload
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT for=window eventname="onload">window.onload = function() { window_onload(); }</SCRIPT>

Ok. here is how I got it to work. I am firing a button click event in which the procedure is executed. I dont know if its the best way but here it is. Any suggestions are welcome.

 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HtmlPage</TITLE>
<BASE href=HTTP://localhost:8080>
<SCRIPT id=clientEventHandlersJS type=text/javascript>
//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {
UpdateData();
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports
fullURL = parent.document.URL;
val = fullURL.substring(fullURL.indexOf('?')+8, fullURL.length);
RECORD_LOCATOR.value=val;
button1_OnClick(document.getElementById("button1"));

}
//End function window_onload

//Begin function button1_OnClick
function button1_OnClick(ctrl) {
// TODO: Add your event handler code here
OnExecute(ctrl)
}
//End function button1_OnClick
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT for=window eventname="onload">window.onload = function() { window_onload(); }</SCRIPT>
