callout to form

MattP

I am looking to write a callout and could use some direction. here is what I am looking to do. From a template, enable users to browse a list of documents on another system (not interwoven). I can get a form with a list of documents and folders, when the user clicks on an object (either folder or document) and in return produce a URL to that object. So, my question is, how do I "pass" that response and insert it in the DCT? The page is in a form, but I have control over how that page is built.

I am familiar with writing callouts, I am just not sure how to pass the info between the two pages.

Thanks in Advance

Prior to FormAPI this required a bit more work, but now it is as simple as:

opener.parent.getScriptFrame().IWDatacapture.getItem("Item Name").setValue("My Value");

If you are willing to stick to callout's javascript, it is fairly well documented ... - and could be done without FormAPI - whatever you prefer.

e.g. this is the code from my filebrowser callout:

function set_datacapture_item_value(selectedValue ){
var template = "WORKAREA";
var wa = selectedValue.substring(selectedValue.indexOf(template) + template.length , selectedValue.length);
var temp_wa = wa.substring ( wa.indexOf ("\/")+1, wa.length);
wa = temp_wa.substring ( temp_wa.indexOf ("\/"), temp_wa.length);
var newString = wa.replace(/[/]/g,"/");
if ((parent.window.opener == null)|| (parent.window.opener.closed)) {
return false;
}
var calloutFormtemp = 'parent.' + '$form_name' ;

var calloutForm =eval(calloutFormtemp);
if (!calloutForm) {
return false;
}

var calloutElementFound =false;

for (i =0 ;i < calloutForm.elements.length ;i++) {
if (calloutForm.elements [i ].name =='$element_name') {
calloutForm.elements [i ].value = newString;
calloutElementFound =true;
break;
}
}

if (!calloutElementFound){
return false;
}

return true;
}
