how to get current language-setting

[uwienand]

Hello experts,

...I need to setup my own form using virutal html in antenna. Because the cgi behind generates some pages I need to get the current language setting (to bring it into a hidden field within the form). The problem is: I do not find how to get the current language-setting...

Anyone out there who has some needful informations on that for me? Thanks in advance.

Hello experts,

...again I...

Some more informations:
I setup a textbox (Id: text753nshyg) within my multilingual-pages and set the content to "de" or "en" depending on the language setting. To hide the textbox I set the opacity to "0".

For the form I added a virtual-html-element with the following content in body-section:

<script type="text/javascript">
function getLang(){
document.gaga.lang.value=documents.getElementById("text753nshyg").value ;
}
</script>

<form name="gaga" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/kws/kws.pl" method="get">
<p><input name="lang" type="hidden"></p>
<p><input name="blabla" type="text" size="25" maxlength="25"></p><br><br><br>
<p><button type="submit" onclick="javascript:getLang();" width="50">
<img src="../grafic/accept.png" alt="ok..." align="center">
</button></p>
</form>


It seems that no information will be brought to input-element "lang". The Perl-CGI does not get a parameter for that.
So, what do I wrong?

Ok, this little js function works for me ;-)
Three languages (de (standard), en and ja) are setting for the site assumed.
Whithin a visual html object:

<script>

function GetLanguage() {
var _myurl= document.URL;
var str="de";

if (_myurl.lastIndexOf("_ja") != -1)
{str="jp"}
else if (_myurl.lastIndexOf("_en") != -1)
{str="en"}
return str;
}
</script>
