Access Javacript variable's value in Web2py Code From view

[Yannick]

Hello Mate,
I have a little problem here and not sure if it is even possible to do
so...
I was wondering if you know how to access javascript value in the
web2py python code from the view....

Here I'm trying to add a parameter to my URL and the value of that
param is a Javascript variable

##################
<script>
....
var param = 'value'

.... {{URL(r=request,c='static',f='action', args=[param])}}

.....
</script>
##################

This code gave me an error because the variable "param" is not defined
which is normal...
Do you know a way to get a param's value and put it as an argument to
my URL ??

Thanks for your help...

Cheers,
Yannick P.

I assume param is javascript variable, not a Python variable:

##################
<script>
....
var param = 'value'

.... "{{URL(r=request,c='static',f='action')}}/"+param

.....
</script>
##################

URL() is executed when generating page on server.
and param=... gets assigned _later_ when executing _already_generated_page_.

You can try though:
{{param='value'}}
var param={{=param}}

Little trick if you need to reference the same value later --

<span id="var1" var1 = "745"></span>

Using unique id's, jQuery makes it very easy to manipulate/reference
the contents. Not exactly XHTML compliant however.

Yes Massimo, param is a JS variable... Thanks for the note and help it
works fine...

Thank you all for your help on this
