I am trying to pass a selected value, in a select list element, from an html page to a procedure. When I press the submit button the element's selected value does not pass through as an amper variable. I have given the element a name and a unique identifier. After reading forum post people are saying that all I need to do is place the element on page and it will be passed through when the page is submitted. Any ideas how to make this work?

Did you add the amper variable to your FEX after making the html page? If so, you'll have to re-link with your run button.

There are ways they say of adding unbound variables, but I wouldn't try it.

There are two other possibilities (if you created your own HTML as opposed to using Dev Studio/HTML composer).

It depends on how you are calling your FOCEXEC from your HTML:
If you are using

<form action="/ibi_apps/WFServlet"> </form>

syntax, then you need to make sure that your Submit button and select list element are both with the form /form block.
If however your submit button calls javascript which then runs your FOCEXEC, you will need to pass the variable through on the "hrefr" string that calls the FOCEXEC.

Did you create the page or Dev Studio ?

To pass values to WebFOCUS, the objects containing your values should be wrapped in a form element as Twanette says.

Can you post the html ?

George, I have an amper variable in my FEX file and I'm not sure how to re-link the run button in the HTML Composer.

Twanette, I will check to see if the element is with in the form tags.

I figured out how to re-link the run button and that fixed the issue. Thanks everyone.
