Passing Parameters In The UI HTML

[sifuhall 0]

Trying to pass parameters in the UI HTML.

 

Works great without parameters.

 

For example, this works:

<input type=\"button\" value=\"button\" onclick=\"ubot.runScript('loadMain()')\">

But this does not

<input type=\"button\" value=\"button\" onclick=\"ubot.runScript('loadMain(\"http://www.google.com\")')\">

You can pass numbers

I had to get a bit creative but that works!

And why wouldn't you share your solution with others to help them? 

 

 

You can pass numbers

You can actually pass strings as well, it's just a bit more tricky...

 

Here is a working solution:

ui html panel("<input type=\"button\" value=\"button\" onclick=\"ubot.runScript(\'loadMain("Test string from html!")\')\">", "")
define loadMain(#test) {
    alert(#test)
}

Notice that instead of escaping Ubot double quotes around input parameters with \ (as in Sifuhall's example), you actually need to HTML encode the double quotes (").

Thanks for sharing that!

 

In my case I loaded the vars into a list and passed the index as the variable
