How to capture return value from Javascript

Hi All,

How do I capture a return value from Javascript into an instance variable

eg:

<script language="javascript"> function GetClientUTC() { var now = new Date() var offset = now.getTimezoneOffset(); return offset/60; } </script><xxforms:script ev:event="xforms-ready">
var zone = GetClientUTC();
<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('clientZone')" value="zone"/>
</xxforms:script>

Kindly help...

regards

Hi,

This is described here:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-javascript-integration#TOC-Getting-and-Setting-Controls-Value-

In short:
- create a xforms control (usually, a xforms:input bound to the
instance node you want to expose to js);
- put ORBEON.xforms.Document.setValue(myControl, "myValue") into your
javascript to modify that control - the value change will be
propagated to the xforms instance.

If you don't want to expose that "intermediary" xforms control to the
user, just add a style="display:none;" to the control to hide it.
