autogenerate php page from template

rabs

I am getting the following error message when I attempt to generate a php page from a template - "Please select one and only one form entry to generate from".

The code I have written is as follows...

function handleGenerate(dcrPath)
{
//alert("handleGenerate");
var item = IWDatacapture.getItem();


httpObj = getHTTPObject();
//alert(httpObj);
var xmlRequestValue = item.getValue();
//alert(xmlRequestValue);
httpObj.open("GET", "http:=" + xmlRequestValue, true);
//alert("open");
var throwaway = httpObj.send();
//alert("send");
//alert(httpObj.responseText);

var filepath = "/htdocs/" + httpObj.responseText + "index.php";
alert(filepath);

IWPageGeneration.setOutputFile(filepath, true);
return(true);

}

Microsoft script debugger was throwing an error on the line "var filepath"

Unless it's just a typo... httpObj.open("GET", "http:=" + xmlRequestValue, true);

Be it as it may, you should always check http request status. Note that try...catch won't work, 404 or 500 returned is perfectly good for all JS cares.
You can for example check httpObj.readyState or httpObj.status (200 is Ok)

Personally, from FormAPI I would choose callServer over AJAX 10 times out of 10
