I have to run a fex from on submit of a form button in HTMLFORM.
I used to do using input hidden elements by assigning values in WF7.6.
It's not working in WF8.
Any idea ?

Thanks,
Bharathi

Can you use jquery in this htmlform? You could use ajax to get it done:

 

function doSomethingFunction() {
		$.ajax({
		  type: "POST",
		  dataType: "text" ,
		  url: "/ibi_apps/WFServlet.ibfs?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&|&|IBIMR_drill=IBFS,RUNFEX,IBIF_ex,true"  ,
		  data: { IBIF_ex: "some fex name"
			       }
	})
  .done(function( msg ) {
		//do stuff after completion
  	});
}

Bharathi,

I still execute my html the same way I did in WF7.7.03. Can you post your code so we can see what your doing and provide suggestions. Where as I do use Jquery from time to time, the main way that webfocus submits queries is still from form syntax and the XML island.
