You can test the cont2 to make sure its getting assigned correctly, unless you are sure it is.

In the run javascript put:

alert(cont2);

this will tell you the information the variable contains, so you know its getting the URL and not something else before you try to troubleshoot it.

oh sorry i forgot to say i tried that and comes out as undefined.

i tried different items/variables with no luck

from what i can see its not passing anything

Ok that means the json return is not getting the right info. After looking at your source try this:

cont2 = item[“link”];

[jeremy450]

tired that one to with no luck

content2 is the direct link to the PDF

[Brandon]

Try changing this item:

var list_items = $(“:root”).data(“item”); //<—- from var list_items = $(“:root”).data(“newsletters”);

[jeremy450]

Sorry no change

[jeremy450]

Also i tried

cont2 = “testing”;

with no luck

the run javascript isnt picking up the variable cont2 at all. Thats what i have.

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(“item”);
var item = list_items[itemId];
var title = item[“title”];
var desc = item[“desc”];
var cont = item[“content”];

cont2 = “testing”;

var daydate = item[“daydate”];
var monthdate = item[“monthdate”];
$(“#m1-newsletterdtls-htmApplink”).html(“<EMBED src='”+cont2+”‘ width=’100′ height=’100’>”+cont2+”</EMBED>”);

}

Try this, it appears to work and load the pdf into the window.
Make sure to back up your original custom js file first.

Go back to your original: eventsdtls.mobi
in the run javascript and try it. Thats what I have and it seems to be working.

[jeremy450]

huh????

that one is newsletter not events it would be newsletterdtls

[jeremy450]

I’ve created a button on the newsletterdtls

and put run javascript on
phoneui.showURL(cont2,’_child’, {showLocationBar: true, showAddress: true, showNavigationBar: true });

problem is now it works fine on the computer, but android wont open it. but if i have a url with no spaces it works. as wayne mentioned its a bug

[jeremy450]

I got it all to work even with the bug.

i used the following code to get around it

var urls = item[“content2”];
cont2 = urls.split(‘ ‘).join(‘%20’);

Thank you very much for your help. i just have to hope it works with the IPhone

Regards
Jeremy

Consider using the built in javascript function encodeURI(url) to handle encoding special chars in your url such as spaces.

Viewing pdf docs in a mobione/cordova app works much better on iOS devices than from android. We have provided additional support above the cordova api support which downloads remote pdfs to the device and then renders them. We found an issue working with jeremy’s project where the encoded url chars where being interpreted literally. We have a fix check in this weekend and I’m helping test it today. We plan to provide this improvement in the next release.
