XML Server Getting Started    

        var dlgProps = "center:yes;dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:200px;status:no"; 

        var dlgURL = "/Examples/Tutorial/step7.jsp"; 

        var dlgParm = getCookie("userid"); 

        var isLogonOK = window.showModalDialog(dlgURL, dlgParm, dlgProps); 

        var status = isLogonOK?"suceeded":"failed"; 

        explanation.innerHTML = "Now that user logon " + status + " this window is active"; 

        inp_changeme.value = "You can type now"; 

        inp_changeme.focus(); 

     } 

As in the previous code snippet, we included reference to /xmlsp/js/system.js. This time around   to enable use of 

getCookie() 

function. We read the 

cookie

 value (could be 

null

) and pass it as an argument to our dialog box. We could have passed any 

object, not only the string, performing: 

         .  .  .  .  .   .  .  .  .  .  .  .   

        var dlgURL = "/Examples/Tutorial/step7.jsp"; 

        var dlgParm = new Object(); 

        dlgParm.userid = getCookie("userid"); 

        dlgParm.date = new Date(); 

        var isLogonOK = window.showModalDialog(dlgURL, dlgParm, dlgProps); 

Then, inside step7.jsp, we could have had the following: 

  function window::onLoad() { 

     var argsObject = window.dialogArguments;  

     if (argsObject.userid != null) { 

           edt_userid.value = argsObject.userid; 

     } 

  }
