Secretly call a page using Javascript 2 years 5 months ago #55178

I have a survey and I'm trying to get it to automatically create a token on another survey once they reach a certain question.

Is there any way I can get lime to call a page that will create a token for another survey without the respondent knowing it?

I already have the call page setup, I'm having trouble figuring out the code needed to call to that page.

Our IT guy gave me this code, but it's not working

function loadJSON(url) {
var headID = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.type = 'text/javascript';
newScript.src = url;
headID.appendChild(newScript);
} newUrl = 'http://CALLPAGEADDRESS’; loadJSON(newUrl);

Does this code need to be change to work within lime?

asonimie	Yes, I put CALLPAGEADDRESS as a place holder in my example. It has the correct link in the actual code.

asonimie	What do you mean when you say it will only add another javascript to the header? Is there a better way to put the code in? I don't think it should require any PHP. The person who gave me the code is on vacation this week, but when he gave it to me he said it should be able to work all within javascript.

At the end of a survey you can auto-redirect the user to a PHP script which does the token creation. Afterwards you can redirect the user to a predefined end page.
Loading the PHP script is something the user won't really recognize.

Another solution is to use javascript to call the PHP file at survey runtime.
