UX Component Redirect to a5w page based on field

[Dan Blank]

I have a one page question on a UX Component where the answer may be "001" or "002".

If they enter "001" and press save I would like them to be directed to "page_d.a5w". Like wise if they answer the question and the answer is "002" and press save I would like them to be directed to "page_k.a5w".

Not sure where to go to accomplish this with a UX Component.

Thanks,
Dan

You can use action javascript (Open an .a5w page, static HTML page, URL, or PDF document...) in the button's onClick event. Be sure to select the correct target type).

But where or how do you put the redirect depending on the answer?

Will they be entering this number (001 or 002) in a TextBox or DropdownBox control on the UX component? If so, you can call {dialog.object}.getValue() to get the value of the control and redirect to the appropriate a5w page. You will need to switch to text mode in the onClick event or use the "Inline-JavaScript" Action JavaScript routine. If you were doing this in straight JavaScript using text mode, you could do something like the following:

var answer = {dialog.object}.getValue('Answer');

if (answer == '001')
{
     window.location = 'page_d.a5w';
}
if (answer == '002')
{
     window.location = 'page_k.a5w';
}

Or you could use the Action JavaScript routine like I mentioned in my first reply to Open an a5w page, but you will need to create a JavaScript Action (not Action Javascript) for each page you want to open. The Action JavaScript property is located in the Properties section of the UX component. For example:

var answer = {dialog.object}.getValue('Answer');

if (answer == '001')
{
     {dialog.object}.runAction('Open_Page_d');
}
if (answer == '002')
{
     {dialog.object}.runAction('Open_Page_k');
}

You would create two JavaScript Action routines, one named "Open_Page_d" and the other "Open_Page_k". In each of these you would add the Action JavaScript routine to open the appropriate a5w page. You specify the a5w page in the builder.

Try the straight JavaScript method in text mode first and see how that works for you.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the help. Your first idea works great. I finally see what you mean by the second idea. I will give that a try as it may be more useful for other grids/pages with similar objectives.

Thanks,
Dan
