document.location.href='ExportTo.cfm?typ=p&met=DumpAGE&sidx='+sortCol;

Thanks for the pointer.

The value of sortCol in the alert() is the name of the current column selected as the sort.  Which is what I expect it to be.

When I test the value of  the URL that I pass, the value of sidx (just a url var) is:  sortCol  - not the value of sortCol.

How can I get the value of sortCol into this:

document.location.href='ExportTo.cfm?typ=p&met=DumpAGE&sidx=+sortCol';

After this line

var sortCol = $(”#agelist”).getGridParam(”sortname”);

if you have make alert(sortCol) what is the result.

Maybe you should check you code sidx=+sortCol - what is sidx - from where you have this value? What you expect from this expression. IMHO it will not work

Try first to construct you string and after that make the link.

In my pager for my grid, I have links to dump the grid to pdf or excel.  To do this I link to a coldfusion page (Export.cfm and passing the parameters I need to recreate the grid query)  I want to pass the grids current sort parameters (name and order).  I'm trying to use the .getGridParam method.

Is there another way to do this?

thanks, Jim

Sorry but I do not understand what you mean.

Part of my bold code was cut off.

   $("#agelist").navGrid("#agepager2",{edit:false,add:false,del:false,search:false,refresh:false,position:"right"}).navButtonAdd('#agepager2',{caption:"To PDF", buttonimg:"images/pdf.png", onClickButton:
    function()
    {  
     var sortCol = $("#agelist").getGridParam("sortname");
     document.location.href='ExportTo.cfm?typ=p&met=DumpAGE&myacct=<cfoutput>#session.bizorg_objid#</cfoutput>

&listtyp=age&sidx=+sortCol';
     },
    position:"last", title:'Export to PDF' }).navButtonAdd('#agepager2',{caption:"To Excel", buttonimg:"images/icon-xls.png", onClickButton: function(){document.location.href='ExportTo.cfm?typ=e&met=DumpAGE&myacct=<cfoutput>#session.bizorg_objid#</cfoutput>&listtyp=age';}, position:"last", title:'Export to Excel' })
    ; 

I'm trying to pass the value [name] of the current sort column in a url stream of the pager.    See bold text below.

I'm using Cold Fusion.  My url parameters on the input to ExportTo.cfm page show that sidx = sortCol.

how can I pass the value of sortCol ?

thanks,  Jim
