Calling array through an alert

[kunal16]

I have wrote a script include for an array outcome. I am calling the same script include through a client script. What I need is to get an alert/pop-up alert to display the result of the same array. How can that be achieved?

Hi Kunal,

I put together a simple example of how it could be done. I hope it's helpful

On the script include

var getAttributesInArray = Class.create();
getAttributesInArray.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getAttributes: function() {

   var arrAttributes =   [];

   // .. 
   // Here goes the lines of code which populate your array
   //

   if (arrAttributes.length > 0)
   {
             for (var i=0; i<arrAttributes.length; i++){
                       this._addAttribute("attribute",arrAttributes[i].toString());
             }
   }
},

_addAttribute : function(name, value) 
       { 
           var userAttributes = this.newItem("userAttributes"); 
           userAttributes.setAttribute("name", name); 
           userAttributes.setAttribute("value", value); 
       }
});

On the client side:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

   var ga = new GlideAjax('getAttributesInArray');
   ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getAttributes');
   ga.getXML(_processResponse);



   function _processResponse(response) {
             var userAttributes = response.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("userAttributes");
             for (var i=0; i<userAttributes.length; i++){
                       alert(userAttributes[i].getAttribute("value"));
             }
   }
}

Hi Berny,

Thank you so much for your reply. It is really helpful.

Now I am facing the issue is: if there are two values in the array what I am returning from the script include, it is showing two alerts one after another. First alert with the first value then second alert with the second value.

example:

Alert(INC0000001)

Alert(INC0000001)

I want only one alert to show and the values will be ',' separated.

So I want the result like:

alert(INC0000001,INC0000002)

Please help me in achieving the result like this.

When you are pushing the values in a array in script include, before returning the value, add a toString() to the array variable.

return arrayvariable.toString();

Now, you will have the comma separated value at the client side.

[kunal16]

Yes toString is added before only. I am trying to comma separate the result at the client side now.

Any help will be appreciated.
