Call URL from ui macro

[eashwar]

Folks,

I am trying to generate a simple URL in UI macro and call. its failing sysparam needs a demiliter.

code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

    <j:set var="jvar_n" value="add_me_${ref}"/>

    <span id="${jvar_n}" onclick="addMe('${ref}')" title="Add me" alt="Add me" tabindex="0" class="btn btn-default icon-default-knowledge-base">

          <span class="sr-only">Add me</span>

    </span>

  <script>

          function addMe() {

      var url = "https://"+window.location.hostname.toString()+"/kb_knowledge.do?sys_id=-1&amp;sysparam_query=short_descriptionLIKEMAJOR";

  window.open(url, "_blank");

      return false;

          }

    </script>

</j:jelly>

How to call a url with param value ?

Thank you,

Sorry the way I was doing it (i.e. based on the ui macro) required the form to be saved before it would work.   LIkely what was the issue.   This version does not:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

    <j:set var="jvar_n" value="add_me_${ref}"/>

    <span id="${jvar_n}" onclick="addMe('${ref}')" title="Add me" alt="Add me" tabindex="0" class="btn btn-default icon-default-knowledge-base">

          <span class="sr-only">Add me</span>

    </span>

  <script>

  function addMe(reference)

  {

      window.open('$knowledge.do#/search?query=' + encodeURI(g_form.getValue('short_description')) + '$[AMP]order=default');

  }

  </script>

</j:jelly>
