Getting Data In

Accessing search results from html file of custom module

My requirement is to create a custom module which will run a search query and pass on the results to a .swf file which will be embedded inside the module's HTML. I am currently returning the result in JSON format from my python script.

Is there any way to pass this JSON object directly to the HTML file from the JS file's renderResults() function?

Or is there any way to pass the data as XML from the HTML file?

Or any alternate way to do this?

Hi Keerthana, try including your JS (yourapp.js in your module html file. Declare a global variable and try accessing it with in your html.

Even i am facing similar problem. I do not want to format the JSON results in renderResults function. I just need to pass that as is to module view's HTML and access it there. I am unable to do it.
