Passing a value in an alert box

[trojan800]

I am trying to pass a value (lastAllowed) to the user through an alert box. Everything is working as it should be except that after the message and before the value (which is showing up correctly), the word 'undefined' is showing up everytime. Can anyone see something wrong in the following code or have any suggestions. Any and all help is appreciated. TIA - Rory

alert ("Your bio has exceeded the 100 word limit.\nPlease shorten your entry to accomodate this.\nThe 100th word is:" + lastAllowed);

Right before that line, insert

alert (lastAllowed);

What does it show?

Cheers,


Edward

Sorry, take the space out:

alert(lastAllowed);

Cheers,

I tried the same alter message and it is working okay with no undefined.

...and if you insert:

alert("value: " + lastAllowed);

What exactly, is the value of lastAllowed?

Cheers,


Edward

Maybe you can post a little more of the code, like what you're using to populate lastAllowed, so we can get a better idea of what's going on.
