I'm trying to create a button that will execute an http get command. For example

https://home-server.com/contact//scri...

I can get this to work when I use an html object and set the form action correctly. The issue I have is that my app will navigate to my external server after the users submits the form.

Any chance I can achieve the same functionality without an HTML form? In a perfect world i would love to use the native input objects for form data and then have the user click a button that would execute the http post in the back ground.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Hello James,
Appery.io platform provides elegant way to create any type of requests
Please use this doc to create a REST without web form
http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...
There is a Test tab for every service, which you can use to see results of your request

I can't create a REST service on the destination server, all i can do is send an http get/post action; The snippet bellow is working fine statically.

$.get( "https://home-server.com/contact//scri..."} );

I just need to figure out a way to add variables from my applicaiton into the javascript. Specifically how would I read/reference a storage variable and insert it into the URL.

Thanks again for your help! I'm almost done with my proof of concept for work and your app is awesome!

I can't build a REST webservice.

Hello,

You can use jQuery ajax function for this goal.
Details: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

But note: this is external service thus you will have cross origin request issues in this case if you test/run it in the browser.

If you use Appery.io services - you can set "Appery.io proxy" and it will fix cross origin problem.

Regards.

@yuri - i don't understand your suggestion. is their not a way to lets say insert a variable into an event javascript.

Hello,

a way to add variables from my applicaiton into the javascript

var myLSV1 = localStorage.getItem("MYLSV1");
var myLSV2 = localStorage.getItem("MYLSV3");

$.get( "https://home-server.com/contact//scri...", { var1: myLSV1, var2: myLSV2} );

Egor,

Thanks for your response!

Hi Egor,

Your suggestion worked perfectly! I'm now trying to also add a variable into the url from a "select" menu.

The user will select a duration measured in minutes and click submit.

var myLSV1 = localStorage.getItem("MYLSV1");
var myLSV2 = localStorage.getItem("MYLSV3");
var myDuration =

$.get( "https://home-server.com/contact//scri...", { var1: myLSV1, var2: myLSV2} );

Do you know how this can be accomplished?

Thanks again for all of your help!
James
