Getting a Parameter from jQuery
Question
JQuery
Logic
Hello everyone,

I'm new to using jQuery, and I've been following a few tutorials and grind some code to get it working.
I am stuck at the moment trying to get a value passed from a javascript function, to the outsystems context (I need that value on a screen action...)

Can anyone tell me the right path to go? I've trying session variables, but that isnt working either...

Make an input box on the screen, use a style or CSS class to give it the style "display: none;" so it is not showing. Then use jQuery to set the value of that input box. Give the input box a name, and in the expression with the jQuery code, do something like:

"<script>
$('#" + NameOfBox.Id + "').val('value to set');
blah...
blah...
blah...
</script>"

In your screen action you can look at the variable bound to the box to get its value.

Hi Justin,


How about to a session variable? I plan to use a JQuery to set a Session Variable's value when the button is clicked (button has a Navigate Method).

Please advise.


Thank you.


Kind regards,

Christopher

Would work the exact same way, just bind the input box to the Session variable in question. Or write a REST service for this and have the JavaScript call the REST service.
