asp variables into javascript

[storm1976]

hello there,

i worked out how to do the paging through recordset (finally just had some code in the wrong place, sorry james)

but now i would like to have a text box to so the punters can insert a page number and the jump to it. problem is how would i get the asp variables of the first page and the last page to create a range to validate in javascript?

i have the last page variable already which is needed to page through the recordset just a case of putting them into javascript to validate the number

cheers in advance
Storm

<%
firstPage = 1
lastPage = 15
%>

<script>
//you'd use quotes around values for strings....
jsFirstPage = <%=fistPage%>
jsLastPage = <%=lastPage%>
.....
</script> Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

Now you'd use them like any other javascript variable. To validate the range use this (Not sure about the php page call - don't use php)...


<script>
function goThere(){
thisPage = document.myForm.goToPage.value
start = <%=firstPage%>
finish = <%=lastPage%>
isGood = true
if (isNaN(thisPage)){
isGood = false
}
else{
thisPage = parseInt(thisPage)
if (thisPage > finish || thisPage < start){
isGood = false
}
}
if (!isGood){
alert(&quot;Please enter a valid number between &quot; + start + &quot; and &quot; + finish)
}
else{
document.location = &quot;getPage.php?page=&quot; + thisPage
}
}
</script>

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input name=&quot;goToPage&quot;>
<input type=button onClick=&quot;goThere()&quot; value=&quot;Get Page&quot;>
</form> Get the Best Answers! faq333-2924

no worries i dont use php either ;o)

righty i used the above code and it works alrighty apart from when i replace

document.location = &quot;getPage.php?page=&quot; + thisPage

with my page. i have a long querystring which needs to be added onto this.

document.location = &quot;searchresults.asp?&quot; + query + &quot;&ipag=&quot; + thispage

the query is a variable but doesnt seem to work correctly here.

cheers again

if &quot;query&quot; is an asp variable you'd say...

document.location = &quot;searchresults.asp?<%=server.urlencode(query)%>&ipag=&quot; + thispage


not sure about php server-side code...

cheers mwolf00, will definitely keep that in mind )

worked a treat (but for some reason only when i took away the server.urlencode s)

or maybe thats some other problem in my code

cheers anyway
