dhtmlxLayout attachURL - how to pass parameters back and forth Take layout pattern 2U. What is the recommended way of passing parameters from 1) a to b and back 2) b to a? From (a) I want to attach a php form in (b) And I want to pass parameters from (a) to (b) for use in the form (as display text and as default input values). What is the recommended way of passing parameters a -> b? From (a) 1) attachURL using URL with GET method to pass parameters or 2) or use : var frame = layout.cells("b")._frame; frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML=myparameter; (This does not seem to work immediately after attachURL - maybe browser has not completed loading?) What is the recommended way of passing parameters b -> a? I think this must be a function call: eg parent.func(params..) ?

You can set onload event handler in the page loaded inside "b": <body onload="parent.doOnBLoaded()"> In this case doOnBLoaded() function is defined in the page with layout function doOnBLoaded(){var frame = layout.cells("b")._frame; ... } >>What is the recommended way of passing parameters b -> a?I think this must be a function call: eg parent.func(params..) ? Yes, you can try to use parent.func(params..)

Answer posted by Stephen on May 12, 2009 03:58 I think using GET in attachURL('someurl?param1=x') will have to do the job. Need to amend the form to cater for this submit. Answer posted by Alex (support) on May 12, 2009 06:52 Yes, you can use the get request to pass the parameters. As another solution for getElementById("myId") you can use onContentLoaded event.
