Before display

Scroll Prev Next More

Description

The Before Display is executed right before a page is displayed in the browser. Use this event to modify the value of any template variable or to define a new one.

Syntax

BeforeShow(xt, values, pageObject)

Arguments

xt

a template engine object. Use xt.assign "name", "val" to assign a value val to the variable name. More info about template engine.

pageObject

an object representing the current page. For more information, see RunnerPage class.

values

an array of values to be displayed on the page. To access a specific field value, use values("FieldName").

Note: Field names are case-sensitive. If the field name is PlayerId, you should use values("PlayerId"). Note that values("playerid") or values("PlayerID") will not work.

 

Note: If the field was assigned an alias in the SQL query, then the values array will get the alias instead of the field name from the database.

E.g., if you have an SQL query SELECT salesrep_id AS Inv_Salesrep ..., you should use values["Inv_Salesrep"].
