GlideAjax is not defined in UI macro

[rsadhula]

Hi All,

I'm calling GlideAjax from UI Macro , but I'm facing below error:

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: "GlideAjax" is not defined.

Caused by error in ftp://gsft_database/asp_cms_header_user_welcome.3 at line 2

1:

==> 2: var ga = new GlideAjax('global.GetHostName');

3: ga.getXMLWait();

4: var hostName = ga.getAnswer();

5:

My UI Macro looks like below:

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

<g:evaluate>

var ga = new GlideAjax('global.GetHostName');

ga.getXMLWait();

var hostName = ga.getAnswer();  

</g:evaluate>

<!--<j:set var="jvar_inc" value="${help_sysid}" />-->

    <span id="asp-cms-user-salutation">

          ${gs.getMessage('Welcome')},

          <j:if test="${!gs.getUser().isXML()}">

                <span id="asp-cms-user-name"><a href="profile.do">${gs.getUserDisplayName()}</a></span>

<span id="asp-cms-user-sysname">${hostName}</span>

          </j:if>

    </span>

</j:jelly>

What I'm doing wrong here ??

evaluate tags are like server side scripting. You can call the scripts directly as below.

var script = new scriptinclude();

script.functionname();

Hi Rakesh,

When you use <g:evaluate> tag you can use that variable in html section as below:

the variable jvar_computerName has the value

<g:evaluate var="jvar_computerName" jelly="true">

// query whatever table you want and store it in variable and then you can use it in html

var gr = new GlideRecord();

gr.addQuery();

gr.query();

var computerName = gr.computer_name; // have your field here which stores computer name

computerName;

</g:evaluate>

<p>${jvar_computerName}</p>

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Ankur

Hi Ankur,

We don't save computer name in table, I would like to display computer name dynamically for end user.

Is this possible ?

I tried with HostNameJs but it's not working as expected.
