onClick function in UI page

[ryadavalli]

I have a UI page, I have a button, which upon click call the client script and pass the context sysapproval record to client scrim. How can I do that?

I have this for example:

In the ui page XML:

"Button"->

<g:dialog_button onclick="toKnowledge()" type="button" class="diabutt">More information</g:dialog_button>

"Hidden field with a variable"->

<input type="hidden" id="kb_article" name="kb_article" value="${article.number}"/>

Client Script:

function toKnowledge() {

var article= gel("kb_article").value;

var url = 'kb_view.do?sysparm_article='+article;

  GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

  window.location = url;

}

In this example the client script get the variable and paste it into the url and then redirect the user to that page instead.

YOu mean I can pass sysparm_id as well by setting the value in a hidden variable on the UI page and get it in the client script ?

Yea, that should be any problem.

if I look back at my example I have a ui action that does this

UI Action;

var featwin = new GlideDialogWindow('newfeature');

  featwin.setTitle('New release information');

  featwin.setSize(700,600);

//remove the X in the upper right corner

  featwin.removeCloseDecoration();

//Send with the number of the article

  featwin.setPreference('number', g_form.getValue('number'));

  featwin.render();

Then in the UI Page I have this. And it a extra check since I have another place calling the UI Page with the setPreference.

<g:evaluate>

//Check if its a KB article UI action or the UI Script rendering the window

//If there is a preference from the script it from the UI Action otherwise get the system property

if (RP.getWindowProperties().get('number')) {

var artnum = RP.getWindowProperties().get('number');

}

else {

var artnum = gs.getProperty('custom.newfeature.kbdocument');

}

var article = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');

article.get('number', artnum);

</g:evaluate>

So what ever you can throw in and get to a variable, you can put it in a hidden input and the catch it in the client script.

Actually I am trying to get the current context in client script section of UI page, like ${sysparm_id}   and query the user table based on the this value
