How to pass parameters to InfoPath Form

Question

Ok so I know you can add an InfoPath form to a page and pass parameters via connections or query strings that way, but I'm needing to open this form directly from the document library itself because I need to have the ability to redirect the user after the form is submitted. So, I need to be able to set the Source=sdfsd.aspx etc.

Having to open the form in this way though, is there any way to pass a parameter to it?

Answer 1

I would also accept it as an answer if someone could tell me how you could redirect to another page after an InfoPath Webpart was closed

Answer 2

Hi Nerdifiedgeek,

Kiran has supplied a solution to redirect to another page after the form is closed with jQuery.

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#DialogFinalMessage').children().length>0)
{
   window.location.href = "<Desired destination page URL>";
}
});
</script>

Thanks & Regards,
Emir

Awesome! Thank you very much :)

Would you happen to know if there is a way to pass a query string to this?

For instance if I pass a query string for an ID=5, then when you get redirected, you'll redirect back to that ID of 5?
