Accessing FormAPI from CGI

I have a CGI callout on a DCT. The CGI does a bunch of things and returns a javascript.

I need to access the FormAPI objects in this javascript returned. How do I achieve this?

Thanks
Amit

Try reading up on http://<yourservername>/iw/help/tst/formapi, specifically the description of how callServer works.

My situation is different. I'm not/cannot use CallServer.

I'm using a CGI callout button on the DCT. And the javascript returned as an output from this CGI, needs to access the FormAPI

Thanks

Well, I think you can still use parent.getScriptFrame() in your CGI stuff to access the FormAPI frame.

Yep. That was my initial approach. Unfortunately the parent.getScriptFrame() doesn't work.

opener.parent.getScriptFrame() should do the trick.
