JS object error

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 13.2008

Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I am just attempting to put some info into some javascript variables, but I must be misunderstanding how to have multiple variables in a function.

<script language=”JavaScript”>

var stuff1 = “Alert Message here!”;
var stuff2 = document.getElementById(“styled_popup”).style.display=”block”;

window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
function confirmExit()
{
return [stuff1,stuff2];
}
</script>

Am I putting the sytax correctly? Because I get no return when I leave the page.

However, if I put the data (from the variables) directly into the return[] portion, then it works.

Any thoughts?

Obviously. Your stuff2 variable equals to "block" after the assignment. What you need is to make it a function.

var stuff2 = function () {document.getElementById("styled_popup").style.display="block";};

Success!
