Is it Possible?

Hi Jeremy

Hope this helps:

Place a button on the screen.
Set its on-click action to ‘Run javascript’.
Paste the sample CODE below into the javascript window for the action.
set the URL the way you need it.
Gen and test.

    myURL = "http://www.google.com" ;        // Initialize this any way you need
    
    // JQuery call to retrieve URL page 
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: myURL,
        
        // the type of data we expect back
        dataType : "html",                        // html, text,  xml, json
        
        // code to run if the request is OK - Parse data here
        success: function(webText) {
            // Insert processing for received data here
            // webText will have the data 
            // make sure the web site is sending data in the format specified in dataType
            
            console.log("We are in SUCCESS routine");
        },        // END of SUCCESS
        
        // code to run if the request fails; the raw request and
        // status codes are passed to the function
        error: function( xhr, status ) {
                // Insert ERROR processing here
                console.log("We are in ERROR routine");
        },        // END of ERROR
     
        // code to run AFTER success or failure
        complete: function( xhr, status ) {
                // Insert Final handling here
                console.log(' We are in FUNCTION COMPLETE routine" );
        }        // END of COMPLETE
        
    });            // END of JQuery Ajax

Jeremy,

mYURL in the code was just an example. You can set it any way you like in the custom.js or elsewhere.

Alternatively, if you want to use a form for example to send the URL requests, and set the URLs in code somewhere else, the code to set the URL in the form would be:

myURL = <set it from your XML data>
document.getElementById(“m1_yourFormName”).action=myURL;

The command to send the form programmatically is:

phoneui.submitForm(“m1_yourFormName”);

By combining these you should be able to achieve what you need.

Look into the generated HTML and JS files to findout the exact field and form names to use.

Are you talking about something like this:

var myDynamicURL;

function gotoMyURL()
{
phoneui.showURL(myDynamicURL, “_blank”);
}

Then in the buttons run javascript use the
gotoMyURL()

now you can set the myDynamicURL to any url with code:

myDynamicURL = ‘http://genuitec.com&#8217;;

and it will open that url.

Try declaring it just before the function:

Currently this is what you have:

function viewnewsletters() {
var selItem = $(event.srcElement).closest(‘li[data-listitem-index]’);
var itemId = $(selItem).attr(“data-listitem-index”);
var list_items = $(“:root”).data(“newsletters”);
var item = list_items[itemId];
var title = item[“title”];
var desc = item[“desc”];
var cont = item[“content”];
var cont2 = item[“content2”];
var daydate = item[“daydate”];
var monthdate = item[“monthdate”];
…
}

change it to this:

var cont2;
function viewnewsletters() {
var selItem = $(event.srcElement).closest(‘li[data-listitem-index]’);
var itemId = $(selItem).attr(“data-listitem-index”);
var list_items = $(“:root”).data(“newsletters”);
var item = list_items[itemId];
var title = item[“title”];
var desc = item[“desc”];
var cont = item[“content”];

cont2 = item[“content2”]; //<—–the changed one

var daydate = item[“daydate”];
var monthdate = item[“monthdate”];
…
}

This assumes that in the data feed the cont2 is the URL you want to use.

NOTE: I had to take out a couple lines due to the forum does not like when you post percent signs.
