calling screen from javascript

[S.Hage]

Hi all,

How I can call a screen from javascript like this:

function xyz(){
...

 ${screens.render("component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#states")};
.
.
.

}

thanks in advance.

unless things changed lately all calls go through the controller.

I am not sure why you want to do that, but for the code below to work
that will need to be placed in an ftl (inside script tags).

Not sure. Try something from here

Better to find some other way to address it.

where are you running this script.
this can only be run on the non UI side
to my knowledge JS is not supported on that side.
component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#states
can not be called on a rendered page.

Well, what I want to do, I created my own 'Create Party User Interface' using javascript + DOM (in .ftl file), and its not exactly the same create party in OFBiz. But in some places in the code I want to use what is already done in ofbiz like states and country, I found in many place in the code the '${screens.render("component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#states")}; ' is used, and I thought its easy to incorporate it into my javascript + DOM function.

if I understand you are including JS in an fTL.
this will only be activated after the ftl has been rendered.
FTL are not like a PHP or ASP page. it is put through a renderer code
that changes it to html
so only the information rendered on the resultant html page will be
available. at that time
${screens.render("component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#states")
has already been rendered.
the only DOM available is the web page in html.

hope that makes sense

The closest you can get to this is to make an ajax call to a
controller request that renders a screen, and then put this content
into your current document.  You will have trouble if the screen
result has decorators or if it contains scripts.

A better, simpler plan is to render your initial screen with divs set
aside for the purpose of injecting dynamic content.  Then you can
simply call a controller request that runs a service but renders no
view, let Javascript get the service output as JSON, and update your
screen this way.
