Passing multiple values to a single label

[Jonathan Clark]

I'm trying to figure out how to take the value from two different fields, perform calculations on them and then return the value of those calculations. I have a response that returns an array of fields. Two of the fields contain location cordinates (one field for lat, one field for long).

What I want is to pass both of these values to a single label element, run them through a function that gets a saved set of coordinates from local storage, and the returns the distance between the two sets. I have a working function to perform the calculations but I just can't figure out how to access the values when passing two fields to a page element. Any advice?

I hope I understand the question correctly, but you can read values from a Label component using:

code
Tiggzi('component_name').text();
/code

I suppose that does help a little and I think for what I am trying to accomplish I could add two additional labels that are not visible to just hold the value momentarily.

Just to clarify on my original question:

I receive a response from the DB that is an array of records, and there are two specific fields in each array that I want to use in a function that then produces the value that I want to display on the page. I don't really want either of the two values from the response to be displayed. (The two values are lat,long cords that I then want to run through a function that calculates the distance between the returned lat,long and the users lat,long)

As I'm typing this, It's just occurred to me that maybe I should re-format the response so that each record array contains another array which contains the lat and long fields, and then pass that actual inner array ($) to the label?
Would that then pass the array to the javascript function as the value variable?

Hello! You can redefine the response, but from Label it won't be passed as an array, but as the string. If this string is a correct json object then you can parse it using JSON.parse
