All,
I need a way to pass a parameter to an HTML5 application which should read it, is there any way to accomplish this task ?

Like a php script that reads the parameter with $_GET["myVar"], I would be able to read a parameter like so:

www.xyz/monkeygame.html?myVar=123

and read it from within the monkeygame.html app.

Is that possible ? I've read something about the JavaScript window.location.search function.. how to implement it using the Extern statement in Monkey ?

Thanks in advance,
Sergio.

Try this:


Import "external.js"

Extern
	Global PageURL:String
	
Public

Function Main ()

	#If TARGET="html5"

		' Print URL:
		
		Print PageURL
		
		' Print URL after ?
		
		' Add ?YourParameter to end of URL and go again!
		
		Print PageURL [PageURL.Find ("?") + 1..] ' Preferred Mid ()!

	#Endif
	
End

Open another tab, paste this in, and save in the same folder as "external.js"...

var PageURL=document.URL;

In fact, here it is online:

Just add ?YourParameter to the end of the URL, eg.

http://www.hi-toro.com/monkey/externjs/external.html?HelloWorld

This may also prove useful:

Import dom

Function Main()
	Print "window.location.href="+window.location.href
End

Forgot about 'dom'! Handy, since I've recently been trying to pick up html/css/js, etc all over again. Will have to investigate...
