Passing contents of <form> input to Ajax callback

[Antony]

Is it possible to pass the contents of:

<input type="text" id="qty" name="qty">

via A5.ajax.callback ?



I want to type in a quantity then press the button that does my callback.

Thanks

Are you doing this on an a5w page? How are you doing the callbck?

<script>
function doAjaxCallback() {
A5.ajax.callback('AddToBasket.ajax.a5w','qty=1&item=<%a5?alltrim(str(part))%>');
}
</script>

As you can see I have hardcoded qty=1, but I want to pass the contents of a textbox instead.

Hi Anthony:
See if the attached helps you.

Thanks, but I am avoiding using any Alpha grids - all my code is hand written html/a5w pages.

Just to clarify how I am calling the above script on my .a5w page.


<button onclick="doAjaxCallback();">Buy</button>

All you need to do is copy the inline js in the row button to your button on the page: <button onclick="the inline ajaxcb js;">Buy</button>

Let me explain a little better

I have a .a5w page (no grids) with the following code:

<input style="position:relative;top:0px;width:30px" size="4" maxlength="4" name="qty" id="qty" class="qty" value="1">
<button onclick="doAjaxCallback();">Buy</button>

<script>
function doAjaxCallback() {
A5.ajax.callback('addtobasket.ajax.a5w','qty=1&item=<%a5?alltrim(str(part))%>');
}
</script>

This works fine but is only ever passing "1" as the qty because it is hard coded 'qty=1'

What I want to do is pass the value the user may enter into the form control named 'qty' instead. These are not local xbasic variables, so not sure how to go about this.

No worries I figured it out

<script>
function doAjaxCallback() {
A5.ajax.callback('addtobasket.ajax.a5w','qty=' [COLOR="#FF0000"]+ document.getElementById('qty').value +[/COLOR] '&item=<%a5?alltrim(str(part))%>');
}
</script>

I have what I think is a similar problem. Parent grid calls a child grid with action java script. I link the 2 grids on idnumber so that when I enter a new record in the child grid it will automatically insert idnumber in to the child's new record. This works as long as the child grid has at least one record. What am I missing here?
