| Member |
Hi, I am a newbie with WebFOCUS and web developing, and I hope someone can help me to figure this out. I need to pass a WebFOCUS parameter between two html pages; unfortunately, the other posting on this forum did not help me to find a solution. I have prepared a simple example with the CAR dataset, and I hope you can help me to let it works. Mainly, I have: 1) an HTML PAGE SelectCountry.htm that contains - an edit textbox to insert a selecting value - a button to call the second html page 2) an HTML PAGE ReportCar.htm that contains - an edit textbox to insert a selecting value - a button to sumbit the query and visualize the report - a report area From the first page, when I insert a selecting value in the edit textbox and I press the button, I would like to visualize the second html page with the same value in the second selecting edit textbox. Here the two codes I prepared for the two pages: (Thanks in advance for your help) SelectCountry.htm

Hi, Daniele Welcome to the forum. First you should really rethink why you need a html to call another html. In WebFocus HTML are considered to be a place to enter parameters and start reports (.fex ! ). The output of these reports can be either in another browser, in a iframe or execl/pdf etc. As far as I know ( and I would like it to be corrected here ) an HTML-page doesn't take 'incoming' parameters. Can you explain why you need this? Then 'we' perhaps come up with a another solution that fits in the WebFocus vision... By the way... I needed a html to call another html with a parameter too, and got it to work with some scripting. But you schould only do this if no other solution works better.

In the first page, create Composer parameters in addition to your current parameters, and bind the controls to them, then in the hyperlink that calls the second page, use the "Additional Parameters" button in the hyperlink dialog (it shows when you have Composer parameters) and select each if them. They will be passed on the URL. Now in the second page, have these parameters as incoming (parameter bound to object) and the value will come in to that object.

@David I stand corrected. Never knew you could bind as incoming. But I must say I got it to work for dropdowns. When I try it with text-box I only either: "[object Object]" Or Jscript error : id.Getselecteditem etc.. error ( and my solution need to auto press the submit button as well, I'm sticking to my script ) But thanks, I learned something today.

Thank you for the welcome guys  , and your prompt answer. It is always nice as a newbie to find such a support.For Dave: I need such a functionality to implement some back and forward buttons between my html pages that retain the values in the common filters I have selected in one of the html page. For example: I have PageA (Filter X, Filter Y) and PageB (Filter X, Filter Y, Filter Z). When I go from PageA to PageB with a drilldown, Filter X of Page B will have a specific value, if I want to go back to PageA with a BACK button, when I reload PageA, I want that the Filter X will retain the same value.(I hope I was clear  )For David: Thanks David, I tested your solution and it seems to work. I have only one problem. When the value coming from the first html paqe is inserted in the edit box of the second html page, the value is quoted. for example FIRST HTML PAGE: COUNTRY_NAME TEXT BOX = ENGLAND (click button SECOND HTML PAGE: COUNTRY_NAME TEXT BOX = 'ENGLAND' How can I eliminate the ' character. Again, thanks you both!! WebFOCUS 7.6 Windows, All Outputs | |||

Daniele, I'm not sure how to do that actually. However, I believe you can take the parameter that contains that value and use FOCUS functions to remove them like TRIM.

open a fex do you thing with the variable. below that type -HTMLFORM BEGIN ... ... -HTMLFORM END WebFOCUS 7.6 Windows (oracle on unix) all output | |||

@Dirk Yes, that's my solution also. @Daniele I think there is an option 'add quotes' in the inputbox properties somewhere. _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||

Daniele, Please don't use -HTMLFORM. I have given you a better method and even if you have to call Support Services, the quotes issue will get resolved.

Hi You can have a javascript routine to remove the quotes using something like: string.substring(from, to) If you have problems with this please open a case with tech support. Thanks Barry WebFOCUS 8103, Windows, App Studio | |||

I'm sure I'm somehow missing the point here, but when I go back to Daniele's original post I can't see why the second html page is necessary in the first place. She wants, it seems, to pass two parameters to a report. This doesn't need two web pages - both can be easily done on a single page, no ???

@George You are right... ...I think Daniele could manage with one HTML. ( Not to mention the 'back'-button which nearly impossible to tame ) But... Here's my situation that requires two HTML pages passing parameters. I have simple page with just 1 inputbox. ( customer-info ) Here a customer ID can be entered. When 'run' is clicked the basic-data is shown in an iframe and there are about 12 buttons on this page to start various fexi in a second iframe. ( works fine ) But sometimes the user doesn't know the customer ID. So there is also a button "browse". This starts another html ( target="_self" ). Here the user can enter multiple inputboxes linked to search parameters in a customer-list-fex. ( e.g. name, street, postalcode, city, etc. ) When 'run' is clicked a list of customers is shown according to the searchparameters in a iframe. In this list the user can click on a customer ( i.e. drill ). This drill leads the user back to the first html page ( target = "_self" again ). On this page the drilled customer ID from the list is entered in the inputbox. ( this I did with Jscript, but David's solution should work here also, although I couldn't get it to work for a simple text-input ) But secondly it should also click the 'run' button so the basic-data is directly shown. It's actually a very basic "browse" function. I don't see how this is done in one HTML. ( without also having to add custom scripting ) In my solution this only requires two (!) very simple lines of Jscript. Greets, Dave _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||

Hi everybody, and thanks for your answers. In someway, I think that I got it. Just to briefly summarize: 1) Page A (Filter X, Filter Y) with a report having column X and Y 2) Page B (Filter X, Filter Z) with a report having column X and Z In page B, I have a back button that allows to go back to Page A retaining whatever value was contained in the Filter X of Page B. then, following the suggestion of David:
I had created "composed parameters" that I discovered are the ones with dashed lines Therefore I created a parameter called X for my filter X. The major problem was that I had already a report parameter called X for the report I am calling in the page, and that was messing up everything. Therefore, I applied the following solution that has two parameters, one for the report and one that needs to be passed, both linked to the filter X edit box:FILTER X EDIT BOX ---link----> (Report parameter) X (and I created another link) FILTER X EDIT BOX ---link----> (Composer parameter with dashed line) PASSED_X This last parameter is the one showing up in the as precisely specified by David. Now, in the page called by the hyperlink I introduced the following Java script code:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript type=text/javascript>
function onInitialUpdate(){
if (params) {
if (params["PASSED_X"]) {
var PASSED_X= unescape(params["PASSED_X"]);
if (PASSED_X) document.getElementById('FILTER_X').value = PASSED_X;
}
}
}
function getParams() {
var idx = document.URL.indexOf('?');
if (idx != -1) {
var tempParams = new Object();
var pairs = document.URL.substring(idx+1,document.URL.length).split('&');
for (var i=0; i<pairs.length; i++) {
nameVal = pairs[i].split('=');
tempParams[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1];
}
return tempParams;
}
}
var params = getParams();
</SCRIPT>
and the function calling onInitialUpdate(); as shown below:
//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
onInitialUpdate();
}
//End function window_onload
This seems work. I am still new with IBI; therefore, probably there is a better way to do what I need, experience and your support will tell. Daniele (@George: Daniele is a male Italian name )@David: It is kind of weird since the value in my car example was passed with single quotes, but in the pages I am creating it is passed without quotes. Maybe there is a difference that I cannot see now, but it works. Thanks again for your suggestion and help, much appreciate. @George and Dave: The example I provided is a simplification of what the situation it really is, but I would still think about your suggestions, whether or not I can manage the two reports with a unique html page (although the reports have different contents).

I cheat. I use focexecs like jsp pages with amper-variables embedded between -htmlform tags. Works like a charm. I put Maintain code in them sometimes too. I'm sure this would be considered an awful idea in NY, but it works really well and is super-fast to code. I've punched out whole data-editing web sites in a day with it. Note that I don't do this with code from the Composer. Strictly my own html. J.  | |||

My solution: ( just sharing ) PASS_PARAM : What ever parameter you want to pass. MY_HTM.htm : The HTML you want to go to. edit1 : The name of the inputbox in the hmtl. MY_HTM_WRAPPER.FEX
-DEFAULTH &PASS_PARAM = '';
-HTMLFORM app/MY_HTM.htm
-IF &PASS_PARAM NE '' OR ' ' THEN CONTINUE ELSE EXIT;
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JSCRIPT'>
document.getElementById('edit1').value = '!IBI.AMP.PASS_PARAM;';
</SCRIPT>
-HTMLFORM END
And then just link/drill to MY_HTM_WRAPPER.FEX instead of MY_HTM.htm Greets,Dave _____________________ WF: 8.0.0.9 > going 8.2.0.5 | |||
