RE: [WEB400] call an rpg program to return a true/false value in javascript

["Richard B Baird" <rbaird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

I'm intrigued,  I can write a cookie in rpg, and read it in javascript sure
enough, but to call the rpg program to write it is the sticky part.

by simply hrefing a cgi program, the browser will expect a new page to be
loaded.  right?

if you can get around this, i'm all ears!

the way I ended up doing it was to have the program reload the page, after
deciding the true/false condition and loading the appropriate javascript
already imbedded, to run onload.  not as elegant as I would have liked, but
functional.

thanks,

rick

If I'm late or repeating someone else's solution excuse me but...
Couldn't you just write a cookie out and then read it back in the
JavaScript?
