javascript redirect based on a cdml tag?

ibiubu · August 20, 2002

Before I get to heavily in trying to figure out how to do this, I thought I would check to see if it is possible.

I can easily enough cretae a javascript on my web page that when the page is loaded the web page is directed to a different url automatically. Just wanted to know if the redirect url can be based on a cdml tag linked to a filemaker field?

I don't know about JS for this, but you can send your cdml to (and through) a meta redirect very effectively.

A meta redirect? Can this open the new page as _blank, as well as determine the size, scroll bar, address bar options? That is why I wanted to do it through java.

Well it would be used as a step between your clickable action and the results page. A meta redirect can be left blank, or it can contain text, images and data.

In an example I posted on Sample Files I used a meta redirect which displays text and data. The meta redirect page is link.htm in that solution.

I am doing that on our PR portal, no problem. You can freely mix the two -- JS and FM.

Just be cautious -- do not use the comment tags e.g.  around the JS code.

You can use CDML Replacment tags within Javascript in the <head> of your page. This is best done as a Javascript Function. I even use them to construct arrays.

Then you can call that Function with the "onload()" parameter of the <body> tag.

Hope this helps.
