call ipl from JS

I have an IPL file: it doesn't take any input and returns me a set of values from an xml..If i run the ipl file,i get the output..
But when i call it from JavaScript,its not returning me any value....
Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

Thanks,
Meena.

Could you please provide as how you are calling the IPL file (inline or callserver)? Also state your TS Env.

Does the script do anything like querying a database?
Or running some 3rd-party tool?
If so (and perhaps even if not) - you are probably dealing with an environment issue. Modify your code to send the complete contents of %ENV to a temporary file - run your script from the command line, run it as an inline, run it as a callServer process -- compare the output from each run.

When you figure out what's missing - add it to your script in the form of a

BEGIN {
    $ENV{...} = "...";
    ...
};

block.

Either attach your IPL or try to debug the script using the logs.

I have attached my JS and IPL code..
My script is not accessing any database.

You generate buggy JS code. Just for example sake, let's say your *node* loop comes up with the $name values
of 'boo', 'foo' and 'moo'. In this case Perl expressin "$testOptions;" within html script tag will evaluate to something
like the following:
[html]. . .
<script language="javascript">
var hiddenValues;

// Lines below are what "$testOptions;" has been evaluated to...
hiddenValues = boo;
hiddenValues = foo;
hiddenValues = moo;
;
</script>
. . .[/html]Note that
a) It's wrong JS, you do not have variables boo/foo/moo. What you need is hiddenValues="boo";...
b) You override hiddenValues every time, only the last value(moo) matters. Or perhaps that's what you want
