Untermininated String Constant Error

[SDyke]

The following script causes a error I suppose because of the dash. What can I do to prevent the error and process correctly? Note everything works fine when I use a number that does not have a dash.

This is the client side code. The JSF uses EL to determine the dynamic values.

function populatePaths(){
var dirName = "\\\\gvsvr03\\drawings\\wgen\\pre_pdf\\sourcefiles\\"
		
var fileName1 = "861027-405" + "A" + "1.rtf"
var fileName2 = "861027-405" + "A" + "2.rtf"
var fileName3 = "861027-405" + "A" + "3.rtf"
var fileName4 = "861027-405" + "A" + "4.rtf"
var fileName5 = "861027-405" + "A" + "5.rtf"
		
document.getElementById('form1:text7').value = dirName+fileName1;
document.getElementById('form1:text8').value = dirName+fileName2;
document.getElementById('form1:text9').value = dirName+fileName3;
document.getElementById('form1:text10').value = dirName+fileName4;
document.getElementById('form1:text11').value = dirName+fileName5;
document.getElementById('form1:text12').value = "66057";
		
}

Hi there,

can you use the HTML code for the dash in it's place - something like -?

see this link for the code chart:

Where would I replace the "-" with the "&#45"? Would I need to do it in the class where the number is retrieved in the result set or on the servlet when I assign it to the session attribute? It at the srvlet what is the relace syntax for the following servlet code:

session.setAttribute("dwgno2", drawingString.getDwgName().trim());

Dashes should not cause this.

- Have you tried putting semicolon delimiters after all of your statements?

- What browser(s) does it error in? Under what OS?

- What does the rest of the code on your page look like? Do yu have a URL to an online test harness?

SDyke,

Did you resolve your problem? Did working through those questions help at all?

I got the issue resolved. It was carriage returns in a string I was tring to assign to a session attribute then use in an input box. When I stripped out the carriage returns it works great. Thanks.
