GET-VALUE used in a <td>

[xscottehx]

is it possible to use a get-value command with a <td></td> element to return whatever is inside the element?

for example if i have:

DEF​

​

​

​

VAR cparamlocn AS CHAR NO-UNDO.
​

ASSIGN​

​

​

​

cparamlocn = GET-VALUE("location").
​

{&OUT}​

​

​

​

'<form method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td name="location">red</td><td>blue</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>'.

​

{&OUT} '<b>' cparamlocn '</b>'.

This does not work. is there a solution using progress or is done with javascript?

Hi xscottehx
As I understand the get-value returns the value of the object is an example of html
<input type="submit" name="button" value="Generate">
where the value of the button is to generate
not a lot of html, and if you can not put a value property

Try this code:

{&OUT} "<tr><td>" + GET-VALUE("miVar") + "</td></tr>".

Or This one:

<tr><td>`GET-VALUE("myVAr")`</td></tr>

This symbol: `` indicates WebSpeed embedded code. Works like php <?= ?>
To assign a value to a form control do something like ->

<input type="hidden" name="myVar" value="`GET-VALUE('myVar')`" />

Regards!
