Hi,
I want to use a Variable javascript from one screen to another. Can you help me please ?

Hi Mamoud,

Could you give us more information about what you'd like to accomplish? What will you be using the variable for? The more information we have about this, the better we can help with a solution.

Thanks!

I want to move from one skin to an other. I use the javascript to change first skin myskin. but I want to return to skin myskin using a variable javascript and the variable is undefined in the second screen

Just for some clarification on what you're wanting to accomplish here, are you saying that you want to change Genie skins between screens? For example, screen #1 would use skin 'myskin1' and then screen #2 would use skin 'myskin2'? Or is there something else you're wanting to do? We want to make sure we understand exactly what you're wanting so that we can help with finding a solution.

Thanks!

yes !For example, screen #1 would use skin 'myskin1' and then screen #2 would use skin 'myskin2'.

Changing skins is very expensive in terms of performance. It involves wiping out everything in the current browser session, and re-downloading it from the server. I would never do that on a per-screen basis, unless this is a very unusual screen that will only be used very rarely.

Likewise. the "normal" way of saving a variable across screens will not work because you are wiping out everything in the session. So you will need to use something like the browser's localStorage to save your variable, and you will need to restore it when you resume.

Please explain why you want to switch skins on a per-screen basis, so that we can consider if there's a better way to do it.

I have a program
        menu.rpgle (skin)
           

FM application
              ROI option 1 (skin1)
              TOI option 2 (skin)
            
               Choice:

assume that i select option 1 and i do my work and i return to menu.rpgle is still like this http://myi//profoundui/genie?skin=skin1 . and i would like this url
http://myi//profoundui/genie?skin=skin.

Option 1 and 2 are two differents applications and I want to call them in menu.rpgle

You can run as many applications in a single skin as you like. There is no need to switch skins to change applications.

Of course, except that in our case there are a dozen options and the ROI option is very special. These are screens where all the elements are textbox. So you have to do it separately.
