Error in Jelly script

[yasararabath]

Hi ,

I am writing a script on UI macro where I have to open a url when I click on the button. All working good except the below line of code where the system is not rendering the below line when the form loads.

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">
<td align="left">
<button id="createEnq" onClick="onCreateEnq();">Create Enquiry</button>
<script>
function onCreateEnq()
{

var reqFor = g_form.getValue('caller');
var location =g_form.getValue('caller.location');
var reqItem = 'e4595d8edbe8b240a35dba9ffe96197a';
var comments1 = g_form.getValue('short_description');
var comments2 = g_form.getValue('description');
var comments=comments1+comments2;

var bs=g_form.getValue('u_business_service');
var OwnedGroup=getValue('u_owned_by');


var url = 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=' + reqItem +'&amp;sysparm_user=' + reqFor + 'sysparm_location=' + location + 'sysparm_comments=' + comments+'sysparm_bs='+bs+'sysparm_OwnedGroup='+OwnedGroup;

window.open(url)

}

</script>
</td>
</j:jelly>


Error while loading form: The reference to entity "sysparm_user" must end with the ';' delimiter.

var url = 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=' + reqItem +'&amp;sysparm_user=' + reqFor + '&amp;sysparm_location=' + location + '&amp;sysparm_comments=' + comments+'&amp;sysparm_bs='+bs+'&amp;sysparm_OwnedGroup='+OwnedGroup; 

Could you please help me on this ASAP?

Regards,

Change this to 

var url = 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=' + reqItem +'&amp;sysparm_user=' + reqFor + '&amp;sysparm_location=' + location + '&amp;sysparm_comments=' + comments+'&amp;sysparm_bs='+bs+'&amp;sysparm_OwnedGroup='+OwnedGroup;

What was changed?

Can you try this instead

var url = 'com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_id=' + reqItem +'&sysparm_user=' + reqFor + '&sysparm_location=' + location + '&sysparm_comments=' + comments+'&sysparm_bs='+bs+'&sysparm_OwnedGroup='+OwnedGroup;

This seems to work fine for me, but if you are having issues I'd guess it has to do with the '&amp;' pieces in your 'url' variable string.  That typically needs to be escaped properly to work in Jelly.  I'd try replacing each of those with '${AMP}' or '$[AMP]' and see if that helps.

Check out this doc for more details.
