WebFocus variable in JavaScript 1

Hello Eva,
WebFOCUS amper variables are resolved to their text representation before the -HTMLFORM is generated on the web server, so within JavaScript these variables will be simply "the text". Below is a very simple example:
-SET &VARMSG='alert("The message !"
;';-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function msgAlert() {
&VARMSG
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="msgAlert()">
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END
Hope this helps

Hi Grzegorz!
Thanx a lot, works excellent. For all those who'd like to have an example for an external JavaScript, here it is:
[tt]
-SET &MES = 'Mein Test';
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var message = '&MES';
// -->
</script>
<script language="javascript" src="</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="msgAlert()">
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END
[/tt]
Where the external JavaScript is the following:
[tt]
function msgAlert()
{
alert(message);
}
[/tt]
Regards,
Eva
