I can pass parms from an HTML to a Fex and it works great, what i am needing to do is have an HTML come up to select a year, then pull up another HTML where they select EITHER a customer or in another box, enter the job number for a specific job. From this second HTML, you get another selection HTML where they can choose a specific invoice for the custoer they selected or the job they entered. Both will call the same HTML. THEN from there call the Fex. I am having problems passing those parms from the first HTML to the next.
What i get is the following:
Error occurred.
ERROR: ERROR_MR_CANT_OPEN_FEX Can't open file to read content.
When i do a View Source on that screen i get this:
WebFOCUS Message: ERROR_MR_CANT_OPEN_FEX Can't open file to read content. ERROR: ERROR_MR_CANT_OPEN_FEX Can't open file to read content. Any ideas what i need to do. I am relatively new to using HTML to drive a fex so be easy on me! I am sure it is something simple that i am missing here. Also below is the first HTML then the second one. Thanks in advance!

Gold member Jen,
you can use window.opener method in javascript function to get the calling HTML values as,
window.opener.document.getElementById("combobox1").value
and once you got this value you can user this value in second HTML and and can then pass to the fex file.
thanks.
Anmol
Gold member Anmol, i am not familiar with that, can you give me an example of from one to another HTML? or a place to go see examples?

Gold member first_html.htm
//Begin function button1_onclick
function button1_onclick(ctrl) {
OnExecute(ctrl)
}
having once combobox as 'combobox1' name
and one submit button to call the second_html
when click on the submit button second_html.htm gets open
second_html.htm
//code
//Begin function button1_onclick
function button1_onclick(ctrl) {
alert(window.opener.document.getElementById("combobox1").value);
var parentVarValue = window.opener.document.getElementById("combobox1").value; // gets the parent combobox seleted value
alert(parentVarValue);
document.getElementById("inputhidden1").value= parentVarValue; // stores the combobox value in the hiden field.
OnExecute(ctrl)
}
//End function button1_onclick
other code
///having one inputhidden field as "inputhidden1" name.
one other combobox from which user can select one of the value.
// one Submit button which will call a fex
Fex code(test_htm_htm_fex_call.fex)
-* File test_htm_htm_fex_call.fex
-SET &ECHO='ALL';
-DEFAULT &First_htm_combobox_Value ='1234';
-DEFAULT &Second_htm_combobox_value ='abc';
-TYPE &First_htm_combobox_Value
-TYPE &Second_htm_combobox_value
The basic idea is you need to use the window.opener value and then you need to set that value in one of the hidden fields and
then you can use this value in the fex files
Hopes this helps.
Regards,
Anmol
Gold member so the window opener works like a holding cell for global use basically??? Ok let me try this and see how it works for me! Thanks!
