Example

You are using the Script Assistant in FrontPage and have an .html page that contains the BatchTrend chart and BatchList applets. The applet definition for the BatchTrend applet is:

<APPLET NAME="BatchTrend" WIDTH="715" HEIGHT="45" CODE="iGrid" CODEBASE="/Illuminator/Classes" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" MAYSCRIPT>

<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="Training/BatchTrendQuery">

<PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="Training/BatchTrendChart">

</APPLET>

The applet definition for the BatchList applet is:

<APPLET NAME="BatchList" WIDTH="715" HEIGHT="45" CODE="iGrid" CODEBASE="/Illuminator/Classes" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" MAYSCRIPT>

<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="Training/BatchListQuery">

<PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="Training/BatchListGrid">

</APPLET>

On the Script Assistantscreen, you select the BatchList applet as the target applet. The system uses SelectionEvent to call the BatchList_Selected function. You select the BatchTrend applet, the getQueryObject() object, and a corresponding setParam(Index, Value) object method. When you click Insert, the system inserts the document.BatchTrend.getQueryObject().setParam(INDEX, NEWVALUE); expression into the text area. When you click Save Script, the following changes are made to the applet and the JavaScript:

  • The system creates a new function with a unique ID and places it in the header of the Web page inside its own script block.

    <SCRIPT Language="JavaScript" id="BatchList_Updated">

    function BatchList_Selected() {

    document.BatchTrend.getQueryObject().setParam(INDEX, NEWVALUE);

    }

    </SCRIPT>

  • The BatchList applet includes an additional parameter name-value pair with Name=SelectionEvent, which is shown below before the </Applet> tag:

    <APPLET NAME="BatchList" WIDTH="715" HEIGHT="45" CODE="iGrid" CODEBASE="/Illuminator/Classes" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" MAYSCRIPT>

    <PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="Training/BatchListQuery">

    <PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="Training/BatchListGrid">

    <PARAM NAME="SelectionEvent" VALUE="BatchList_Selected">

    </APPLET>

    Note Note

    This is a simple example and requires additional logic to be functional.
