WMLBrowser.setVar

Syntax:: WMLBrowser.setVar(name, value)
name: The mandatory name parameter is the name of the variable. Note in the example, how the name is enclosed within a pair of double quotation marks.
value: The mandatory value parameter is the value to be assigned to the named variable. This parameter can be a named variable with an assigned value or you can enclose the value within a pair of double quotation marks.

Sets the value for the named variable.

The WMLBrowser.setVar function sets the named variable to have the given value and returns a boolean value. A true is returned if the set is successful. A false is returned if the set is not successful.

The syntax of both the name and the value must be correct or invalid will be returned.
