In the URL Start-Date & End-Date must be filled with the global (globalsvar.js) strStartDate & strEndDate. So what should I do for the passing? Could someone help me to solve this matter?

Thanks & regards,

Use this to store local data www.amplify.com[^]

/*store data with index "exam"*/
amplify.store("exam", "what ever you want to strore/ even objects");

/*retrieve data with index "exam"*/
var data = amplify.store("exam");

does this answer make any sence?

DiponRoy 17-Jul-14 6:43am

why don't save the values of Start-Date & End-Date using
amplify.store("Start-Date", "");
amplify.store("End-Date", "");
rather than the global variables;

Ok pal then my webservice is like this.

googleURL= 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions=ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&filters=ga%3Asource!%3D(direct)&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=' + strStartDate + '&end-date=' + strEndDate + '&max-results=10';

Then how am I suppossed to fill the dates for 'start-date' & 'to-date'. This webservice URL is declared as a variable in a different JavaScript file named Script.js. Can you explain that also please.

Thanks & regards,
Chiranthaka

Solution 2

can you do something like this,
http://jsfiddle.net/qLPSm/[^]

C#

var urlHelper = (function(url){
    url.defaults = {
        startDate: '',
        endDate: ''
    };

    url.full = function(){
        return 'start data :' + url.defaults.startDate +' end date: ' +url.defaults.startDate;
    }

}(url = urlHelper || {}));


/*assign value*/
$(function(){
    url.defaults.startDate = 'hi';
    url.defaults.endDate = 'bye';
});


$(document).ready(function(){
    alert(url.full());
    /*change values again*/
    url.defaults.startDate = 'tes1';
    url.defaults.endDate = 'tes2';
    alert(url.full());
});

here if urlHelper is placed in any page, you can use it like this from any page.
