Hi,

I am trying to create an XML data set that has dynamic post variables.

Everytime something is pressed on the page a variable changes and I then want
to reload the XML data set using the new variable.

I know I can just pull in an XML with all possible variables and filter client
side but this would make it way too large.

Does anyone know what I may need to do.

I tried this:
var myVar = 0;
var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet ( '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' ,
'top' , { method: 'POST' , postData: sid=ajaja21&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=' . myVar ,
subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted: "true",
sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending", useCache:
false, loadInterval: 10000 } );

onclick="myVar=1";

But the script doesn't understand the post variables sent (it does when I
remove the . myVar part and put in a static value). I think it isn't sending
that dynamic variable with the post variables.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

In javascript you need to the + sign to "attach" variables to a string

like:

var world = 0;
var data = 'hello ' + world;

also, if you do the onclick myVar =1 it would only set the myVar to 1 but it
will not invoke any actions for Spry. You should do a dss.setURL('link'); and a
dss.loadData(); after it.

Thanks for the reply.

I had tried that with the following
&cid"+myServer
as well as
&cid+myServer"

but both of them broke Spry causing it to give me an error about failing to
retrieve another of my data sets (this is the error it always gives me when I
break something generic).

Any ideas?

Strings start and end with a ''

so &cid"+variable

will still be wrong.. Try this as your constructor:

var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet ( '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'top'
, { method: 'POST' , postData:'sid=ajaja21&ip=127.0.0.1&cid='+myVar , subPaths:
[ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted: "true", sortOnLoad:
"plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending", useCache: false,
loadInterval: 10000 } );

That is giving me the same error as before.

Than something else must be the issue, do you have a online url?

No but I can give you more source code.
