Freemarker: Problem accessing to HTML input values

[santigt]

Hi all!

In Freemarker, how can I access to HTML input values? I put an example: I have this HTML code:

<input type='text' maxlength='1024' size='32' name='searchinst' id='searchinst'/>
<span class="taskAction" onClick="javascript:includeContent();">Búsqueda</span>
<select style='width:240px;' name='inst_derivated' id='inst_derivated' size='4' multiple>
</select></td>‍‍‍‍

The "includeContent" method execute a search (using the "searchinst" input value) and put the results as select "inst_derivated" options. So, the code is something like this:

alert($('searchinst').value);
<#assign buscar="TEXT:\"" + $('searchinst').value + "\"">
<#assign docs=companyhome.nodeByReference[home].childrenByLuceneSearch["$"]?sort_by('name')>
   var i=0;
   <#list docs as d>
      $('inst_derivated').options[i].text = "${d.name}";
      $('inst_derivated').options[i].value = "${d.nodeRef}";
      i++;
   </#list>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The alert runs correctly, but there is an syntax error in this code: Expression $ is undefined

How can I access to this value?? Thanks so much!

I'm not using web script i'm using "raw" ftl (apply template on document/space details)….

Ok, but could you post the relevant parts here please? It makes it much easier to find out what the problem is…

Thanks,

The name of the ftl is
testForm.ftl and its aplied to a document

<form method="post" action="">
   <input type="text" maxlength="1024" size="32" name="inst_derivated" id="inst_derivated" />
   <input type="submit" />
</form>

args["inst_derivated"] = ${args["inst_derivated"]}‍‍‍‍‍‍

im using alfresco 2.1

Hi,

The args Map object is only supplied when the template is served via the TemplateContentServlet, i.e. the /alfresco/template URI stem.

For example:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/template/workspace/SpacesStore/e3741425-35cf-11dc-9762-4b73d0280543‍

To cater for this, your template should look something like the following:

<#– Check existence of args Map object –>
<#if args?exists>
   <#– Check existence of our request variable –>
   <#if args["inst_derivated"]?exists>
      You submitted: ${args["inst_derivated"]}
   <#else>
      <form method="post" action="">
         <input type="text" maxlength="1024" size="32" name="inst_derivated" />
         <input type="submit" /> 
      </form>
   </#if>
<#else>
   Template not served by TemplateContentServlet!
</#if>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Does this help?

Ok, so the template doesn't supply this servlet right?
Have you idea what files i should modify to get it work with "apply template"?

i certainly doesn't test outside templates apply (in this case, i used freemarker files, included in the jsp, to present information in the details-document)…

Thanks for your time, i hope that this can help us all…
