How to Update HEADER on PAGE when Information changes

[rjolda]

Hi All,
Using NT 14.13 and C 11.0.136.
I have some variables in the XHTML of the Page Header:
<!-- Net:s:Dealer-->
  ------>>  Location:
<!-- Net:s:LoginName-->
  ------>>  Location:
<!-- Net:s:tLocName-->
  ------>> Vehicle:
<!-- Net:s:Vehiclee-->
 ------>> Auto Owner:
<!-- Net:s:Owner-->

What I want to do is CHANGE some of the values of the Header variables such as s:Vehicle - when a different vehicle is chosen.

How do I get the HEADER to refresh with the new information?
TIA,
Ron

Hi All,
Bruce replied in 3rd party Newsgroup.  Bruce, thanks - that was all I needed to know to get started.  In essence, put the text in the header in a div tag and give it a name so that it can be addressed.  then use Javscript call to function to change the text.  Now, I know what to do.  Now, I have to get under the hood and dive into Javascript and start writing some functions!
Thanks Bruce, that got me started.

Hi Ron,

Probably I'd suggest something like...
a) wrap the session value in the header in a div;

<div id="sOwner"><!-- Net:s:Owner--></div>

(Because the Net:s: no longer appears in the header once it's served, just the data, so if you want to update the data you'll need a way to identify it.)

b) In the form, on the Server side code; something like (not tested)
p_web.script('$("#sOwner").html("' & somenewvalue & '")')

Cheers
Bruce
