Why is this controller variable not getting through to this javascript code?

I am trying now to use my javascript to render a new view on click of an element, with this code;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.link-panel').click( function() {
window.location.replace('/quotes/'+gon.gon_quote_id);
});
});
and i get the following error:
Couldn't find Quote with 'id'=undefined [WHERE "quotes"."user_id" = $1]
quote_controller.rb:
def show
#quote = current_user.quotes.find(params[:id])
gon.gon_quote_id = #quote.id
end
def index
#quotes = current_user.quotes.all
# how to pass the individual quote object's id to gon here
end
I think that it must be the way that I've given the url argument to the replace method, can you help me with what it is that I'm doing wrong?
(gon setup is working fine as alert tests demonstrate.)
Thanks

The script does not know that it's meant to access a variable from rails, you have to do it like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.link-panel').click( function() {
window.location.replace('/quotes/'+<%= gon.gon_quote_id %>);
});
});

You should use the id parameter in the URL:
window.location.replace('/quotes/?id=' + gon.gon_quote_id);

XPages csjs pass a variable into a function?

On a button click, I'm calling a function in client side JavaScript.
doIt("TEST");
"TEST" is just the ID of label on my XPage.
In the function, I want to use the variable I passed as an ID. Something like:
function doIt(item){
alert(dojo.query("[id$=':item']").innerHTML);
}
OR
function doIt(item){
val = XSP.getElementById("#{id:item}").innerHTML;
alert(val);
}
I have also tried using this, which gives undefined:
val = dojo.query("[id$=':" + item + "']").innerHTML;
alert(val);
If I hard code the ID name like so, then I get the correct innerHTML of the element with the ID "TEST":
val = XSP.getElementById("#{id:TEST}").innerHTML;
alert(val);
Where is my syntax wrong when trying to write this very simple line of code used the passed variable?

The easiest way is to call your function with the complete id:
doIt("#{id:Test}")
and to use it in your function
function doIt(item){
alert(dojo.byId(item).innerHTML);
}

In the "onclick" client-event in the button, (inside XPage or CC), the client Ids can be computed, so you should put there something like this:
doIt("#{id:Test}"); // << "#{id:Test}" is computed in the server-side and the final client ID is sent to the browser
Then, in your cjs library (cjs libraries are not "evaluated" before sending to the client, so here you cannot use "#{id:Test}" expressions) you should have something like:
function doIt(idElement) {
var domElem = dojo.byId(idElement); // << here you get the element
}

Cannot resolve symbol #Url.Action

Should be a simple problem but i dont know exactly why its like this.
In my ASP.NET MVC 5 website i have a simple view with a grid, and a cell action that calls a js function sending some parameters to this function.
function OnCellClick(param1, param2) {
var urlAJAX = #Url.Action("GetJson", "PosicaoEstoque", new { p1 = param1 , p2 =param2}); }
So, like this i get the 'Cannot Resolve symbols' for the param1 and param2.
How can i solve it?

You can use placeholder. Generate url using place holder parameters and then replace them with param
function OnCellClick(param1, param2) {
var urlAJAX = '#Url.Action("GetJson", "PosicaoEstoque", new { p1 = -1 , p2 = -2})';
urlAJAX = urlAJAX.replace('-1', param1).replace('-2', param2);
}

Your problem is that you're mixing server-side and client-side code. You cannot simply put JavaScript variables in Url.Action(), as it runs on the server-side. What you can do is to put some dummy values as parameters and call JavaScript's replace() function on generated URL.
Check this for reference.

Without using Url.Action like below:
var urlAJAX = 'PosicaoEstoque/GetJson?p1=' + param1 + '&p2=' + param2;

__dopostback is not working in javascript function

am calling __dopostback function in javascript while closing event of browser but its not working in Chrome.
the same function is working in IE
can any one give me the solution.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function doUnload()
{
var btnlogout = document.getElementById("ctl00_lbtn_Logout"); alert(btnlogout);
__doPostBack(btnlogout, '');
}
</script>

When doing a __doPostBack, you need to pass the control's UniqueID via javascript. ClientID will not work.

I think you should be passing the btnlogout id as string (not sure if you have to remove the ctl00 thing since it's a child control) as the function expects text and it is probably resolved during the request on the server..
Take a look at this article:
http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/1082/dopostback-function/

Just do:
btnlogout.click();
since you already have a reference to the button and, by the way, don't get the element the way you are doing it; do this instead:
var btnlogout = document.getElementById("<%=btn_Logout.ClientID%>");

dopostback(clientID, args)'s first parameter must be a control's clientid, it is a string , not object (of course string is object ) ..
in your case , i assume that is 'ctl00_lbtn_Logout', pass the right params like :
__doPostBack('<%= downloadUp.ClientID %>', current_index);
if your control is server side control, change 'downloadUp' to your control's id , else you just need pass the id

Please try to getElementById this way
var btnlogout = document.getElementById('<%= lbtn_Logout.ClientID %>');
alert(btnlogout)
and test it again , it will work..

Unable to re-define a function in my javascript object

I have an object defined using literal notation as follows (example code used). This is in an external script file.
if (RF == null) var RF = {};
RF.Example= {
onDoSomething: function () { alert('Original Definition');} ,
method1 : function(){ RF.Example.onDoSomething(); }
}
In my .aspx page I have the following ..
$(document).ready(function () {
RF.Example.onDoSomething = function(){ alert('New Definition'); };
RF.Example.method1();
});
When the page loads the document.ready is called but the alert('Original Definition'); is only ever shown. Can someone point me in the right direction. I basically want to redefine the onDoSomething function. Thanks, Ben.
Edit
Thanks for the comments, I can see that is working. Would it matter that method1 is actually calling another method that takes the onDoSomething() function as a callback parameter? e.g.
method1 : function(){
RF.Example2.callbackFunction(function() {RF.Example.onDoSomething();});
}

Your code as quoted should work (and does: http://jsbin.com/uguva4), so something other than what's in your question is causing this behavior. For instance, if you're using any kind of JavaScript compiler (like Closure) or minifier or something, the names may be being changed, which case you're adding a new onDoSomething when the old one has been renamed. Alternately, perhaps the alert is being triggered by something else, not what you think is triggering it. Or something else may have grabbed a reference to the old onDoSomething (elsewhere in the external script, perhaps) and be using it directly, like this: http://jsbin.com/uguva4/2.

Thanks for the response .. in the end the answer was unrelated to the code posted. Cheers for verifying I wasn't going bonkers.
