[Solved] Spaces in a JavaScript call

December 05, 2008, 05:36 PM

In the focexec below there are three buttons. Button 1 produces the correct alert however Button 2 and Button 3 produce an "Unterminated string constant" error. How do you pass spaces to a JavaScript function? Thanks

Pleas put your code between

[code]

and

[/code]

tags so we can see your HTML as code.

The onClick actions are incorrectly coded

 
BUTTON1/A2000='<INPUT id=button1 type=button value=Button1 name=button1 onClick="window.alert(''testing'');">' ;
BUTTON2/A2000='<INPUT id=button2 type=button value=Button2 name=button2 onClick="window.alert(''testing xxx'');">' ;
BUTTON3/A2000='<INPUT id=button3 type=button value=Button3 name=button3 onClick="window.alert(''testing xxx'');">' ;

Thanks! the button works now! joe


BUTTON2/A2000='<INPUT id=button2 style="Z-INDEX: 1; LEFT: 170px; WIDTH: 50px; TOP: 110px; HEIGHT: 30px" tabIndex=1 type=button value=Exit name=button2 onclick="alert(''testing xxx'');">' ;

Joe, no problem

However please do us all a favour and edit your original post to put the
[CODE][/CODE] tags around the source.

That way everyone will be able to read it and it will remove the javascrit errors that are
being generated.
