Calling subtemplate in main template based on dummy parameter

Question

Hi Gurus,
Basically i want the PO with Terms and conditions for each PO if the dummy parameter is "Y".Otherwise I need to hide the terms and conditions.
So i have created Subtemplate for Terms and conditions.
<?template:My_Subtemplate?> at the top
<?end template?>
I'm trying to call the subtemplate which is registered under template manager to the main templates data definition with subtemplate as "Yes".
Here are the steps followed on the main template:
1) import statement on main template
<?import:xdo://PO.PO_Subtemplate.en.US/?>
<?if:$P_T_C=’Y’?>
<?start:body?>
<?call-template:My_Subtemplate?>
<?end:body?>
<?end if?>
<?if:$P_T_C=’N’?>
<?start:body?>
.........main template goes here
<?end:body?>
<?end if?>
When i run the report, I'm not able to see the subtemplate for dummy parameter as 'Y'. I'm seeing blank.
Is there anything i need to do here?

Your jquery is trying to add data by calling a function. Also, you're just getting the value of the parameter. There's not a key to trigger anything on your server-side script. Make sure real_news.asp is processing correctly, looking for key (some-key) AND value (tlink). You might want to simply try concatenating the value of the var like this though:
<script>
var tlink = window.location.search.substring(1);
$('document').ready(function() {
$("#mydiv").load("real_news.asp?some-key=" + tlink);
</script>
Another way you could do it is use server side scripting to look and see if the URL-PARAM is set and if it is then echo value of URL-PARAM into load() method. php example below. I'm sure you can find an asp equivalent to achieve the same result. I think the key (pun) to this problem is that you do not have a key to associate the value with in order to process anything.
<script>
<?php if (isset($_GET['URL-PARAM'])) { ?>
$('document').ready(function() {
$("#mydiv").load("real_news.asp?some-key=<?php echo $_GET['URL-PARAM']; ?>");
<?php }else{ ?>
alert ("there is no ?URL-PARAM=something in the URL!!!");
<?php } ?>
</script>
best,
