Ext.form.TextField problem feifei bao  2015-04-16 07:55

Hi,

I try to do a similar filter function based on the labkey example:
https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=tutorialActionURL

While in my part, I put the user input from and the filter list in the same wiki page. So it show the search box and list at the same time. After I click the "search" button, the page updates and shows the filtered results. How can I make the search box still shows the content inputted by user in the filtered page?

Thank you very much.

Feifei

Hi Feifei,

What you will want to do is use the LABKEY.ActionURL.getParameter('parameterName') option within your Javascript code.

Source: https://www.labkey.org/download/clientapi_docs/javascript-api/symbols/LABKEY.ActionURL.html

For example, if my URL had the string &participantId=12345678 and I used:

LABKEY.ActionURL.getParameter('participantId')

The ID number 12345678 would get used within my Javascript code.

You can apply this to your search box by having someone type in a value into the box, clicking "search" which would reload the same wiki page but adding something like &searchValue= in the URL string in the address bar along with your actual value you typed in the box, then having the Javascript page pull the value into your query by using:

LABKEY.ActionURL.getParameter('searchValue')

And that will in-turn load your query with the search value you entered.

Regards,

Jon
