Using Variables in certain APIs dont work

sham

hi all,

I"m having a concern with some of the APIs like
1.)_navigateTo()
2.)_expectConfirm()

Here is the issue.
var $dname = "data/a";
_navigateTo("/data/shares/?this_form=editfolshare_form&selfol=$dname&selsvc=nfs"); // DOES NOT WORK
_expectConfirm("Enable NFS share for folder $dname and its sub-folders?", true); // DOES NOT WORK

I've tried per-formatting the variable like this..
var $dname ="data/a";
var $href = "/data/shares/?this_form=editfolshare_form&selfol=$dname&selsvc=nfs"
_navigateTo($href); // DOES NOT WORK

it works with some APIs only like "_setValue(), _setSelected()" ..

Unfortuantely these are some of the most important APIs for me for which variables are failing..
Upon further investigation I've found that the framework passes these variables as "Literal strings" but does not do any substitutions..

Any ideas would be deeply helpful.

Thanks

Hi sham

you cant use variables in Strings
You have to build these strings like
_navigateTo("/data/shares/?this_form=editfolshare_form&selfol="+$dname+"&selsvc=nfs");
