how to fire an event on self.close() in javaScript?

[nbootwala]

Hi,

I have one requirement where in I have to fire an event on self.close() on a jsp page and capture that event in flow.xml.

e.g. I am trying to do something like this.
self.close("&_eventId=test"); This should fire a new event called test and then this event should be available in flow.xml.

I tried to implement this but it didn't work. Does anyone have any idea how do I implement this?

Thanks,

The nice way, using spring.js (which must be added in your header)

my.spring.triggerEvent = function (formId, eventId) {
	var params = {};
	params["_eventId"] = eventId;
	Spring.remoting.submitForm("_eventId", formId, params);
};

or

my.spring.triggerEvent = function (formId, eventId) {
	var sourceId = "_eventId_" + eventId;
	var params = {};
	params[sourceId] = sourceId;
	Spring.remoting.submitForm(sourceId, formId, params);
};

Or the other way is to trigger it yourself (without including Spring.js):

function triggerEvent(formId, event) {
	var form = document.getElementById(formId);
	if (form) {
		var hidden = document.createElement('input');
		hidden.type = 'hidden';
		hidden.name = '_eventId';
		hidden.value = event;
		form.appendChild(hidden);
		form.submit();
	}
}

I have tried them when closing the page, but I guess it should work.
