I want to use EWB for a part of a web application.
For this I need to load the HTML page (built with EWB) with get vars.

for example :
http://www.mysite.com/ewb_page.html?var_get1=201&var_get2=2

how to retreive these get vars in EWB.

Francky,

What you want is this property:

window.location.search

Be sure to include the WebDOM unit in your uses clause.   The search
property returns the parameters like this:

?var_get1=201&var_get2=2

So, you can get the parameters like this by copying the portion of the
string past the ? with the Copy() procedure, and then use either the Split()
function or load the string into a TStrings with the LineSeparator property
set to '&'.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hi,

Tim,

I have searched in the manual about WebDOM and I did'nt see any property search.
Can you write me a small example to show how can i use the WebDOM Unit to get this information from the window.location.search property.

many thanks.

Franck.

Include WebDom in the uses clause of your main form.

Then use this e.g.:

MyParamString := window.location.search;
window.alert(MyParamString);

And you'll see the params like Tim described. Then you can parse
MyParamstring and use the params like you need it.

Hi,

The WebDOM unit is mostly external interfaces and helper functions that are
used by the framework, so it isn't documented at this point.  Please see
here for information on how the external interfaces work with respect to
that unit:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb1&topic=External_Interfaces

There is an external window variable that is declared in the WebDOM unit,
and that gets you access to the TWindow instance for the web browser.  From
there, you can access everything that you need from the web browser.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
