Javascript Not Working 4

[benkov]

Hello,

I am a rookie javascripter (using pre-made scripts) and have edited a script slightly, but it is now returning an error.
Perhaps someone could check it over and tell me what is wrong

Thanks


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

<script language="javascript">
<!--//
/*This Script allows people to enter by using a form that asks for a
UserID and Password*/
function pasuser(form) {
if (form.pass.value=="0712") {
location="page2.html"
} else {
alert("Invalid Password")
}
}
}
//-->
</script>

<center>
<table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="12" border="1">
<tr><td colspan="2"><center><h1><i><b>Login
Area</b></i></h1></center></td></tr>
<tr><td><h1><i><b>Password:</b></i></h1></td><td><input name="pass"
type="password"></td></tr>
<tr><td><center><input type="button" value="Login"
onClick="pasuser(this.form)"></center></td><td><center><br><input
type="Reset"></form></td></tr></table></center>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var SymRealOnLoad;
var SymRealOnUnload;

function SymOnUnload()
{
window.open = SymWinOpen;
if(SymRealOnUnload != null)
SymRealOnUnload();
}

function SymOnLoad()
{
if(SymRealOnLoad != null)
SymRealOnLoad();
window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload;
window.onunload = SymOnUnload;
}

SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = SymOnLoad;

//-->
</script>

Do you have anywhere in your code something that looks simular to this:

<input type="hidden" value="anything" id="pState" />

???

If so, then can you post the relevant code, HTML and Javascript so we can see what is going on?

From what I see, pState doesn't exist at the time this function is called, or may not exist at all.

oops,

Sorry about posting on someone else's post.

Never did that before. I meant to start a new one.

Anyway,

Thanks for responding.

HTML code

... relavent code below
<td style="width: 93px"><input name="pState" id="pState" type="hidden" value="<%=st%>"></td>
<td style="width: 173px"><input name="PropCnty" id="PropCnty" type="hidden" value="<%=cty%>"></td>
<td style="width: 115px">&nbsp;</td>
<td align="center" style="width: 176px"><input type="submit" tabindex="7" value="Begin Search" style="font-size:11px">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Also,

I have tried changing the name/id, I have tried changing it from hidden to visible.

Thanks

Since I see ASP, are you calling that table conditionally??

Something like

<%
   If (dirty = "dog") then 
      %>
          <form> 
             <table>          
                <tr>          
                   <td style="width: 93px"><input name="pState" id="pState" type="hidden" value="<%=st%>"></td>
                   <td style="width: 173px"><input name="PropCnty" id="PropCnty" type="hidden" value="<%=cty%>"></td>
                </tr>
             </table>
          </form>
      <%
   EndIf
%>

I'll make a bet that this is what you are doing. In this case, there is no existance of the hidden variable pState if dirty does not equal "dog".

<.

I looked and I looked, but I didn't see anything that would prevent the input from existing.

 

[monksnake]

If it won't take up too much space, post all your code.

<.

 

[leahyj]

It is quite a bit of code, I will try a little harder. I think I may go about it another way.

Thanks for all of your help.

Some things to check:

- Make sure you only have ONE element with the id of "pState"

- Try removing the name attribute of "pState" on the existing element

- Make sure when you view your client-side source ("View Source" in your browser) that you have an element with an ID attribute of "pState" (and only one element at that).

Hope this helps,
Dan

BillyRay and Monksnake:

Sorry about not getting back, I only was able to solve the problem yesterday late.

I followed your suggetions, Dan, to view the page source, which helped me diagnose the problem.

The solution was doing a number of things in which one of them was to place and If statement around the javascript function call.

If Len(Request.Querystring("pNumber")) > 1 Then
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
	ChangeSelCounty('<%=Session("overview_county")%>');
</script>
<%
End If

I also moved around some previous ASP code and placed it earlier in the page load.

Sorry that I can't be more specific about the exact fix.

Thanks again to the both of you.
