[Chameleon] Globals

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,
Sorry I did not thought you were using AJAX. You should then use 
javascript variables. If you add javascript code like this, you can 
access javascript variables in the main window (not tested):

window.opener.javacript_variable = 'junk';

Can it do the trick?

Best regards,
Julien

Unfortunately, I'm using AJAX, so the page is not refreshing like it would normally. Thus the session variable does not update. When I disabled AJAX, the value showed up. The side effect is that once i update the <img> src, the page refreshes and the original image is once again displayed.

When I try to use the value in QueryWidget that was supposed to be set in QueryResults, the value does not change. This is wierd since i know its changing in QueryResult. I echoed the value before and after and the value does change.
