Pass Data from UI action to UI page.

Hi Community,

How would I pass data through my UI Action to my UI Page, and then send that info to my Script Include to update selected Records? I've updated the post with my code. I have deadline on this can you please help. I am referring to following community article but I am not able to figure it out.

The key is to use GlideDialogWindow.

function call_UI_Page()
{
var gDialog1 = new GlideDialogWindow('ui_page_name');
gDialog1.setTitle('Put your title here');
gDialog1.setSize(700,700);
gDialog1.setPreference('your_parameter_name', 'your_parameter_value');//Passing a parameter
gDialog1.render();
}

And then in your UI page we will have to 'catch' the parameter and store it in a jelly variable.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<html>
                      <!--Catching the parameter and storing it in a jelly variable called jvar_sys_id-->
                       <j:set var="jvar_sys_id" value="${RP.getWindowProperties().get('your_parameter_name')}"/>   

                        <!--Storing it in a hidden input html field with id = record_sys_id-->
                        <input id="record_sys_id" type="hidden" value="${jvar_sys_id}" />
</html>

</j:jelly>

Now we catch the value in a javascript variable in client script.

var sys_id = $j('#record_sys_id').val();
alert(sys_id);

After then comes your glideajax...
