How to call Object Script from javascript with a return value

[CmdrSpock]

I have a user input form and I have a command button that the user
would push to locate the next available opening. I have a classmethod
which runs an SQL query to locate the next available opening and
returns it. However, I am calling a javascript function with the
command button, because I need to re-enable (disable=false) certain
controls on the page also. Or would it be easier to call the
javascript, to re-enable the controls, from the object script
function.

Here is my code;
<button caption=" New " onclick="getNextSocket();" />

Method getNextSocket() [ Language = javascript ]
{
// call to an ObjectScript routine that
// will return the next available socket number.
// If there are no more sockets available, popup a message.
var newSocket=zenPage.NextSocket()
// add code to popup a message if there are no more sockets
var tb=this.getComponentById('txtSocket');
tb.setProperty('value',x);
// only enable the radioset until the user makes a choice.
var comp=this.getComponentById('rsAppType');
comp.setProperty('disabled',false);

return;
}

/// This method will return the next available socket for assignment
ClassMethod NextSocket() [ Private ]
{
;Generate a random number for now, between 13000 and 18000
Quit nextSocket=$R(5000)+13000
// call class method to get an available socket
;##class(IPSockets.Sockets).GetNextSocket()
}

Your approach should work fine.

Only thing I could note is that your method is missing and you have a statement after you Quit

As %String [ ZenMethod ]   .

It does not work, it produces an error:

Try onClick - the methods are case sensitive

What I do is I press space bar so auto complete shows me the list of methods and chances of errors like this are minimal

I did use space bar. Using onClick generates an error during
complication of the class.

This is a working example. Of course it is not as complicated but it does returns values back from ZenMethod so that means you can do everything you can in objectscript and quit with your desired value

NOTE : quit would need to be there for it to work

<button caption="New" onclick="zenPage.Method1()" />

Method Method1() [ Language = javascript ]
{
       alert('Method1')
       var msg = zenPage.Method2('Neerav')
       alert(msg)
}
Method Method2(Name As %String) As %String [ ZenMethod ]
{
       quit "Hello "_Name
}
