Hi Jeff,

I have set up a small demo that you can just copy & paste - Page1 linking to Page2, passing a value in sessionScope and displaying it in a label:

 

Page1 source:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
    <xp:link escape="true" text="Link" id="link1" value="/Page2.xsp">
        <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
            <xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:sessionScope.test = "Test value"}]]></xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler></xp:link>
</xp:view>

 

Page2 source:

 

HTH

Thanks Rick, you answered my question precisely as I stated in my goal.  Unfortunately, I didn't  state what I am really struggling with very clearly.

The value I want to pass is in a computed field within a repeat control.  So I need to capture what that computed field turned out to be in an on click event.

I am also having some trouble getting my button to work within the repeat control.  I have successfully built a link via SSJS when the page renders within the repeat but it's capturing information after the page renders and I get a user event that I cannot seem to get working.

 

Jeff,

then I would rather use request parameters passed in an URL (as the parameters in a GET request).

But I have tried the same - setting a sessionScope variable in a button placed in a repeat row - and it works, too.

No tricks should be required ... What is the error? Can you share your code?

I took things back a few steps and got a button in the repeat control to work in a very basic test.

 

I still can't figure out to access the value of a computed field in a repeat control via SSJS.

The answer is in this post.
