Read this article on design prinicples for a form

satya - Sunday, April 05, 2009 11:59:04 AM

You can use 'escape' like this to pass in a url to serverside


function gotoUpdateSegment()
{
var callingurl=
"/display?url=someurl&arg1={{somekey}}";

var targeturl = 
"/akc/display?url=sometargetURL&folderId={{folder_id}}";

var finalTargetUrl = 
targeturl + "&callingurl=" + escape(callingurl);

document.location=finalTargetUrl;
}

Then you can store it in a form field to use it as a passthrough like this


<input type="hidden" name="callingurl" value={{callingurl}}"/>

Here is how you can redirect a url after update to where it came from


request.updateChildSegmentRequest.redirectUrl=/akc{callingurl.empty}

satya - Sunday, April 05, 2009 12:14:06 PM

Take a look at the code for GeneralTranslator in aspire to understand 'empty'

satya - Sunday, April 05, 2009 12:14:33 PM

In this case it will not url encode the substitution

<input type="hidden" name="callingurl" value="{{callingurl}}"/>

  <p><textarea rows="18" name="childSegment" cols="60">
          {{aspire_annotation}}
     </textarea>

  <p align="center">
      <input align="center" type="submit" 
         class="button" value="Change" name="B2">

Notice the pass through of callingurl argument through the form
