Ok, so I have an MVC webapp. I’ve tried for hours to pass one simple variable from TransactionsDatePicker.cshtml to Transactions display.
I have an input with an id of ‘transactionlookupdate’. I want to intercept it (input type is date).
I’ve managed to append the date to the link like this:
<script>
document.getElementById("buttoncontinue").addEventListener("click", function () {
dateSelected = document.getElementById("transactionlookupdate").value;
document.location.href = 'TransactionsDisplay' + '/' + dateSelected;
});
</script>
Now, what do I do in TransactionsDisplay (where I want to get the date) to store it in usable variable?!
So far I’ve tried like a 100 different ways, one that got me the closest was:
(top of TransactionsDisplay.cshtml)
@{
ViewBag.Title = "TransactionsDisplay";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
var dateSelected = Request.Url.Segments.Last();
}
and awful try at populating alert with dateSelected:
<script>
function myFunction() {
alert(dateSelected);
}
</script>
Any help would be appreciated!
Pass the date as url parameter in TransactionsDatePicker.cshtm
and extract in TransactionsDisplay at the end of the <body> element:
