Hi,

I have created a new module in EE and in mod.newmodule.php I am executing a query. After processing the query, the results create an array. I need to use this array in JavaScript of the template of the calling module.
How can I access this array created in mod.newmodule.php through the javascript of the template?

Please help.

Thanks.

First thought so it might not be the best way:

Could you just inline some javascript right in the body of the HTML? So in your template it would look something like:

[removed]<!--
        var x = {your_query_results_here};
        -->[removed]"; 

Edit to add: Interesting - it took out the javascript declaration (guess that’s not safe HTML )

It should look like:

<5cript type="text/java5cript"><!--
        var x = {your_query_results_here};
        --></5cript>"; 

Replace 5 with s.

Another option might be to set up a new template that only contains your SQL and outputs your javascript. Then you could embed this template in the header?
