javascript variables and mivascript variables

[jeffwo]

Hello,

If I create a variable and assign it a number can I reference that variable in miva script if all the code is on the same page?

Thanks ahead of time,

Jeff

Re: javascript variables and mivascript variables

If you mean a JS variable, no because JS runs in the users browser on their PC. Miva runs on the web server. If you need to pass a JS variable to Mivascript (when a page is next executed) you can simply write the JS variable it a hidden input form...but that only works with a <form> element.

Yeah, next page, or just a simple $ajax post with your variable (almost the same thing). Anyhow, you need a second page in mivascript in order to catch and process the variable.

I do this all the time and here is the idea:

1. MS page 1 : I create a sessionid var that I'll transfer to the JS script (ex: <mveval expr="{'<script>var session="'$l.mysessionid$'";</script>'}">
2. In JS I use this var + my other vars to POST data to MS page 2

This way I catch the var and I keep track of the sessionid ...

Don't know if I was clear :)
