Passing results from JS to webpage

timmbo · Aug 5, 2003

Hi All,

I need to return the results of my JS file to my webpage. How would I return myTwoMonths, myThreeMonths and myFourMonths to replace the static months?

function setMonths(_form) {

var tMonth = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"

var currDate = new Date();

//Getting current month. For Pooled Sweep it's two months prior to
//current month.
var twoPriorMonths = currDate.getMonth()-2;
var myTwoMonths = tMonth[twoPriorMonths];

//Getting second month. Three months prior to current month.
var threePriorMonths = currDate.getMonth()-3;
var myThreeMonths = tMonth[threePriorMonths];

//Getting third month. Four months prior to current month.
var fourPriorMonths = currDate.getMonth()-4;
var myFourMonths = tMonth[fourPriorMonths];
}

Following is my HTML:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<META http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1252">

<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../service/js/isc-style.css" title="Standard ISC Style">

</HEAD>
<BODY onload="javascript:setMonths('rptPooledSweepArchiveForm');">
<FORM name="rptPooledSweepArchiveForm" action="../isc/PooledSweepServlet">

<TABLE border="0" align="center" width="170">

</TR>
<TR>
<TD><LI>April</LI></TD>
</TR>
</OL>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks for your help.

Presumably "June" is to be replaced with myTwoMonths, "May" with myThreeMonths, and "April" with myFourMonths. This always being the case, surround June/May/April with anchor tags with only a name attribute:

Code:

<A NAME=replace2m>June</A>
...
<A NAME=replace3m>May</A>
...
<A NAME=replace4m>April</A>
...

then, after the variables are loaded in your Javascript function:

Code:

replace2m.innerHTML = myTwoMonths;
replace3m.innerHTML = myThreeMonths;
replace4m.innerHTML = myFourMonths;

That's for IE. I think in Netscape you need to say innerText (if I remember correctly from a previous poster on a previous topic).

'hope that helps.

Thanks for the help Dave. I'll give it a shot.

P.S., I forget whether anchors require the form name in front of them (e.g., formName.anchorName.innerHTML=...) or not. If one way doesn't work, try the other.

Here is a Javascript function which can deal with the (IE), Netscape(NN) and Mozila(MO) differences:

function ChangeContent(id, str) {
if (type=="IE&quot

{
document.all[id].innerHTML = str;
}
if (type=="NN&quot

{
document.layers[id].document.open();
document.layers[id].document.write(str);
document.layers[id].document.close();
}
if (type=="MO&quot

{
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = str;
}
}
