Vladimir IahnencoHTML3 AssignVar() method
on Mon, 17 Apr 2006 22:44:08 -0400
Hi All,
Just found HTML3 object has this method.

oHtml:GetVal("Error")       NIL
oHtml:AssignVar("Error","ON")  //"ON"
oHtml:GetVar("Error")                  //"ON"

Does it simply add a name-value pair to aQueryVars?

Thanks,
Vladimir

GetVar fetches a CGI variable from waa1gate.
SetVar sets a dummy CGI variable (I believe)
AssignVar is an alias of SetVar.

GetVal - unknown, is it in waa v1.90?  It's not in 1.82.

If I find my beautiful consort with access to my fortress has been
associating with the hero, I'll have her executed. It's regrettable, but new
consorts are easier to get than new fortresses and maybe the next one will
pay attention at the orientation meeting.

I would think this is simply a typo... and should read GetVar()... I even
didn't notice before you mentioned it

Thomas,
Thanks, just noticed I made a typo, I meant GetVar()
AssignVar method I found from classDescribe() method in waa v1.82
AsssignVar and GetVar are not the same. AssignVar set a new name/value pair 
in the received array of variables, SetVar add a new one to the array (html 
source) to be sent.

Regards,
Vladimir

That would be very useful when cross-calling form-functions.  However, since
I use xbHCL, I can do this independant of WAA via the EVAR command (and of
course that works with Xb2.NET as well).

Still, another set of notes to make about WAA - thanks

If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and an underling who
failed or betrayed me, I will see to it that the hero is scheduled to go
first.
