Re: How to pass the variable in Jquery in view to controller

[Scott Hunter]

The short answer is, you don't.  Javascript is being executed in the browser; controller code is executed on the server.

The longer answer is that the browser can make a request to the server (via ajax or some other mechanism) that can cause controller code to be executed.  I think you'll need to provide more details of what you are trying to do before someone can w/ details.

Hi All, i would like to pass the variable clickedFlight in Jquery in view to one of the functions named custom_view_search in view.py in controller. Please show me how. Thanks

$(document.body).on("contextmenu", "table tr", function(e) {

var tableData = $(this).children("td").map(function(){

return $(this).text();

}).get();

var clickedFlight = tableData[0]

alert(clickedFlight);

    contextMenu.css({

              display: "block",

              left: e.clientX,

              

              //TODO: figure out why I have to hardcode this value to get the menu to appear in correct place

              //...Y axis page value not correctly displaying on table

              top:  e.clientY - 80        

         }); 

         return false;

 

    });
