I am trying to pass a variable from page 1, that has a javascript that uses a .js file for the submit button. I want to take that variable and pass through the .js file to a frames page that needs to output that variable again.
Here is the "button" I am trying to pass the variable (located in the .js file)
window.location = SC.baseUrl + '/reservation/' + reservation.token;
The variable I am trying to pass is called $event_name
The variable is being queries from mySql and I am using codeigniter. When the page loads, the query filles in the event name, which I am then trying to pass that variable into another page through this .js script.
Any ideas?
I would highly recommend looking into using browser cookies.
You can't pass variables between 2 separate JS files. What you could do is have functions in both files that return something. For example:
JS File 1
function myFunction1 (arg1) {
return arg1;
}
JS File 2
function myFunction2 () {
return myFunction1 ("foo"); //myFunction1 is in a separate JS file
}
alert(myFunction2()); //Throws alert message that says "foo"
HTML
<!DOCTYPE Html />
<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="theJS2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="theJS.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Both files would have to be loaded into the same page, of course. KIND OF the same concept of using jQuery or some other JS Library with your code.

I hava many jsp page using the common function in body's onload and onunload event when using ocx control.So I extract the common function in one js file call common.js and import the js file in the jsp page.But I find the sometimes the jsp page could not execute the function in js file.Finally,I solve the problem in two way but I think there must have the other simple way?How to simplify my js code?
write all the js function in each jsp,it works well
in the each jsp file,includ the common.js,and in the jsp file the script call the function before load the common.js,but I think it have already be loaded two times
//init(),asynclogin_onclick(),logout_onclick() function is in the common.js file
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/common.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="init()" onunload="logout_onclick()">
$(function(){
$.getScript("/js/common.js")
.done(function(script,textStatus ) {
asynclogin_onclick();
});
});
I try to write the code like this,but it could not work.
$(function(){
asynclogin_onclick();
});
I have to use a plugin which bundles js files inside html files (gadgets). For one use case I need to drop and re-instantiate a gadget to run updated code.
So say I have foo.html:
<html>
<head>
<script src="foo.js"></script>
</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>
and foo.js which is the file being injected into my actual document's head:
alert("hello");
Problem is I can only cachebust the html file dynamically and declare my gadget as foo.html?x=123, but the JS file I'm after will still be foo.js so the browser will not re-run it.
Question:
Once a <script> tag is inserted into the document and run, is there any way to run it again without using a module-loader or eval?
Thanks!
You could wrap your code in your <script> tags in a function then call your function. This will allow you to call your code to be called multiple times. Like this:
<script>
function loaded(){
// JavaScript here
}
loaded();
</script>
</body>
I am passing some variable from my gwt code to the jsp file. It is something like this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Inside the jsp file");
var criticalPath = window.top.criticalPath;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/flow.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
What i want is to pass the criticalPath variable to the flow.js file. I know if, flow.js would be a method I could have pass the variable, but I don't want to do that way. Is there any way to avoid the method and pass the variable to flow.js or can I call the window.top.criticalPath inside the flow.js?
You didn't place the variable criticalPath in any specific scope, which means it is a global variable, and hence it will be accessible from any js file (as long as they are loaded after criticalPath declaration.
I want to call a function from my master .js file - from within my php page. Is this possible?
<script type="text/javascript">
functionName(); //calling function from master.js file
</script>
Doesn't seem to work.
It should be as long as the external script is loaded first and "functionName()" is attached to the global scope
I have controller:
package plugin
class TestController {
def simply = {[name:new Date()]}
}
as you see i pass param name
my view page:
<html>
<head>
<!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="${resource(dir:'resource/js',file:'simply.js')}?color=FA8DFF">-->
<g:javascript>
alert("${name}")
</g:javascript>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
this page run correct - afrer load i see alert window with current date :)
but, when
view page:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${resource(dir:'resource/js',file:'simply.js')}?color=FA8DF">
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
and external simply.js file:
alert("${name}")
i see empty alert window. So, my question: how i can pass params to external.js file?
There are two stages in parsing the view when it is displayed to the user. State one is the server executing any code contained in the view page. In your case
${name}
Is turned into the current date since that’s the value from the controller. This means that the text sent to the users browser contains 3/2/2010 instead of ${name}
The second stage that takes place when the user accesses a view is the browser parsing the HTML. The HTML that is sent to the browser depends on what took place on the server. Since in your example the JavaScript is contained in the view ${name} is replaced with the current date on the server. Then JavaScript containing 3/3/2010 is sent to the browser since ${name} was replaced by 3/3/2010 on the server. This means the popup box will contain 3/3/2010. If you include external JavaScript files they never get run through the first step since the browser directly downloads them and does not make a request to the server. This means that the first step never takes place so $[name} does not get replaced with the value from your controller. This behavior is the same weather you use the
<script>
or
<g:javascript>
tag.
In order to pass values from a view into JavaScript located in an external file you should define your JavaScript as functions in external files if you wish to pass parameters. For example in external.js
Function dispDate(theParam)
{
Alert(theParam);
}
Then from your view
<g:javascript src="external.js" />
<script type="text/JavaScript">
dispDate(“${name}”);
</script>
Where external.js is stored in the web-app/js directory.
