Re: Witango-Talk: Javascript to Witango
Ok, now this is making some sense... I seem to remember something like
that as well. dynamically specifying the method name caused me some
problems in the past...
take a look at this code...
<@ASSIGN SCOPE=LOCAL NAME=METHODCALLVAR
VALUE='<<@CHAR 64>CALLMETHOD
OBJECT="ERUBE_AUX"
SCOPE="LOCAL"
METHOD="<@VAR LOCAL$TEMPVAR>()"
METHODTYPE="invoke">'>
<@VAR LOCAL$METHODCALLVAR ENCODING=METAHTML>
Although I wrote this code a long time ago. I think I did it this way
because of the exact same problem you had. the "METHOD" attribute of
the callmethod tag doesn't seem to evaluate metatags. So if you look,
the approach i use above is to build a string that has the full call
method tag, (notice that the method name is in the tempvar variable).
Then on the last line, i call the method by outputting that string with
Metahtml encoding.
By the way <@Char 64> is the "@" symbol
Unless you want to do an if/elseif/elseif/elseif type control
structure, i think you will have to do something like too Steve.

I have been able to make some progress, but I'm still not 100% there
yet. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a file called popup.taf
which displays kind of a 'More Info' type window on an ecomm site.
What I thought I would do, would be to create three methods in the
tcf, one for shipping information, one for return information, and one
for sales tax information. Then could use the same javascript to
create a popup window, call popup.taf inside that window, and pass to
it the method that I want to call.
What I'm finding now is puzzling. It appears that we cannot use a
Witango meta tag as the method name in the <@CALLMETHOD...> tag. I've
tried using both a variable <@CALLMETHOD request$product "<@VAR
NAME='request$r_popuptype'>" ENCODING=NONE> and an argument
<@CALLMETHOD request$product "<@ARG infoArg>" ENCODING=NONE> and both
times I received the following:
*Error
*An error occurred while processing your request:
File: *popup.taf
*Position: *Results
*Class: *Internal
*Main Error Number: *-810
*/Error getting object's introspection information.
Couldn't find info for method <@ARG infoArg>
/*Meta Stack Trace:

Meta Tag
0013
<@CALLMETHOD local$product "<@ARG infoArg>" ENCODING=NONE>
/*The meta stack is interpreted top-to-bottom: the top line shows the
inner metatag that caused the error. /
I have come up with a different approach, I simply merged the three
methods (shipping, returns, and sales_taxes) into one method with a
series of IF-ELSEIF actions to check the argument and this works fine.
It may also be a cleaner approach.
But I'd like to hear a definitive answer on if we can use meta tags in
the method name. If we can, what was I doing wrong and if we can't, why?
Thanks to all who helped.

Steve,
I want to help you out on this, but after reading your post a
couple of times I still don't quite understand what you're trying
to do.
First let me clarify that you are NOT refering to using the server
side javascript feature of Witango, right?
I you simply want popup.taf to receive the value of info when it
generates the code page that shows up in the popup window, you
just need to do the following...
Return Policy
and the javascript code is:
function popupwin(file,info,x,y) {
var winName = info + "x"; // Move this up before you build
the URL
{var fileInfo = file
+"?<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>&infoArg="+info;}; // To pass the
variable as an argument to the witango server
var xMax = screen.width, yMax = screen.height;
var xSiz = x, ySiz = y;
var xPos = (xMax - xSiz)/2, yPos = (yMax - ySiz)/5;
infoFile =
window.open(fileInfo,winName,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width="
+ xSiz + ",height=" + ySiz + ",screenX=" + xPos + ",screenY=" +
yPos + ",left=" + xPos + ",top=" + yPos);
}
Now, on the server side in popup.taf if you want to access info as
a "variable" you just need to do the assignment from an ARG.
<@assign scope=request name=r_myvarname value=<@ARG infoArg>>
I know this is basically the same response that Gene gave, the
only thing that I've added is showing how to access that arg as a
variable on the server?
If this isn't what you're looking for, try to explain the problem
one more time...

Subject: Witango-Talk: Javascript to Witango
Forgive my basic level question but how can I pass a javascript variable to Witango? I'm calling a script that creates a popup and when I call it I pass some parameters. I'd like one of those parameters to be a value that I can assign to a Witango variable that will be used within the popup.
The calling code is:
,,"> onMouseOver="window.status='Returns Information'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '; return true">Return Policy
and the javascript code is:
function popupwin(file,info,x,y) {
{var fileInfo = file +"?<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>";};
var winName = info + "x";
var xMax = screen.width, yMax = screen.height;
var xSiz = x, ySiz = y;
var xPos = (xMax - xSiz)/2, yPos = (yMax - ySiz)/5;
infoFile = window.open(fileInfo,winName,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=" + xSiz + ",height=" + ySiz + ",screenX=" + xPos + ",screenY=" + yPos + ",left=" + xPos + ",top=" + yPos);
}
I want to take the value from the 'info' parameter and assign it to a Witango variable.
Can somebody point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Steve, did you ever get your question answered?

what I'm trying to do is the reverse of what you are
describing. I want to take the value of the 'info' parameter that is
passed when the _javascript_ is called (i.e. returns) and pass it into
the taf that I am calling. I have created a popup.taf that will
display shipping information, returns information, and taxes
information. I have set up methods for each in my tcf. I want to pass
the value that is in 'info' into a Witango variable and use it in the
<@CALL...> tag such as:
<@CALLMETHOD
local$product
"<@VAR
NAME='request$r_myvarname'>"
ENCODING=NONE>
so that when the value 'returns' is passed in the 'info'
parameter, like so:
HREF="" FFFE,, -->"_javascript_:popupwin('popup.taf','returns',750,500);"
FFFE,, -->"window.status='Returns
Information'; return true"
FFFE,, -->"window.status='
'; return
true">Return
Policy
I end up with:
<@CALLMETHOD
local$product
"returns"
ENCODING=NONE>
So another way of asking my question is how to I get the value
of what is in 'info' into <@VAR NAME='request$r_myvarname'>?
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Hope this is what you're looking for.

You need to create a linking variable between the parent and child _javascript_ windows Notice the opener vars in the child window Parent window lookups.taf?_function=&<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>&SVal=' + .value,'retvalue','Width=400,Height=300');"> Child window <@ARG _function> Search...

"_javascript_:popupwin('popup.taf','returns',750,500);" >"window.status='Returns Information'; return true" >"window.status=' '; return true">Return Policy and the _javascript_ code is: function popupwin(file,info,x,y) { {var fileInfo = file +"?<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>";}; var winName = info + "x"; var xMax = screen.width, yMax = screen.height; var xSiz = x, ySiz = y; var xPos = (xMax - xSiz)/2, yPos = (yMax - ySiz)/5; infoFile = window.open(fileInfo,winName,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=" + xSiz + ",height=" + ySiz + ",screenX=" + xPos + ",screenY=" + yPos + ",left=" + xPos + ",top=" + yPos); } I want to take the value from the 'info' parameter and assign it to a Witango variable.
