I am have an ajax command in my java script and it works great with all hard coded values. How do it get it to work with a variable value? I have tried create the URL as a variable and entering ajax(variable) which included the complete URL

This works:
var responseText = ajax("http://as400.bass-net.com:10088/testbs/ ... ewcont=109");

This does not work:
var container = 109
var myajax = '"http://as400.bass-net.com:10088/testbs/ ... p?newcont=' + container + '"';
var responseText = ajax(myajax);

Thanks

I think your issue may be in how you're building the myajax URL. The following works for me (same request sent, same response):

Code: Select all

var responseText = ajax("http://md5.jsontest.com/?text=109");
console.log(responseText);

var to_md5 = 109;
var ajax_url = "http://md5.jsontest.com/?text=" + to_md5;
var responseText2 = ajax(ajax_url);
console.log(responseText2);

You don't need to have quotes around the whole URL string. By adding the extra quotes the browser is probably trying to send the ajax request to that resource on the current path (when I try, the ajax request tries to go to http://<my IBM i>/%22http://md5.jsontest.com/?text=109%22 -- the " characters get url encoded to %22).
