How to set a variable value in jelly script and pass its value to javascript?

[shipra]

Hi All,

I have this code with me:

    <g:evaluate>

  var tab = new GlideRecord('u_cms_menu_table');

  tab.query();

      </g:evaluate>

    <j:while test="${tab.next()}">

  <j:if test="${tab.hasNext() == true}">

  <j:while test="${tab.next()}">

  ${j:set var="jvar_link" value="${tab.u_url.getDisplayValue()}"/>

  </j:while>

  </j:if>

  </j:while>

It is taking a columns value from a table which I have created now i want to store it in a variable and pass it to a JavaScript function. The column has URLs to different pages i intend to get th URL under Navigation menu.

Thanks in advance.

If you're just pulling one field from each record, why not just throw them into an array and store it in a jelly variable?

<g:evaluate var="jvar_urls" object="true">

var urlArr = [];

  var tab = new GlideRecord('u_cms_menu_table');

  tab.query();

  while (tab.next())

urlArr.push(tab.u_url.getDisplayValue());

urlArr;

</g:evaluate>

Now, you can pass your array into a client-side function with the syntax: ${jvar_urls} You can then process the array in your JavaScript function.

Could you please explain what is the significance of var="jvar_urls" in the code you have provided. I dont need an array i just need to save one record and i want to use that record in another addQuery.

Thanks,

jvar_urls is the name of the variable that will be set to the result of the script.
