javascript function on A tag in HTML

@jimmyzhuNov 07.2005

Hi Friends,
I create a A link with a javascript function. i want to send a string test to a pop window.

<a href=”javascript:go(info(“test”))”>summary</a>
I got a error message as “test undefined” I can not call a function.
What is wrong?
Thanks for any help!

@jimmyzhuauthorNov 08.2005 — #Hi tabzter,

Thanks for your help.

I changed to <a href="javascript:info(''test'')">. But I got an error message

"object expect" any wrong in my code?

Thanks

@konithomimoNov 08.2005 — #Add in a semicolon to end the line, and look at the quotation marks around test. You have two apostrophes instead of one quotation mark. Use either of these:

<a href="javascript:info('test');">

<a href="" onClick="javascript:info('test');">

@jimmyzhuauthorNov 08.2005 — #or <a href="javascript:info('test')">click here</a>

message as objected expected

@konithomimoNov 08.2005 — #I would just do:

<a href="" onClick="info('test')">Click Here</a>

@jimmyzhuauthorNov 08.2005 — #Hi konithomimo,

I changed to test<b> <a href="" onClick="javascript:info('test');">click here</a></b>

But It go to window explorer. no any error message.

It seems code does nor fire javaScript function info().

Thanks for you help. which is wrong?

<i>
 </i>&lt;a href="" onClick="info('test')"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;

and

<i>
 </i>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 {
 function info(p) 
 {
 alert(p);
 window.open("","msg","height=340,width=250,left=10,top=40");
 msg.document.write("&lt;html&gt;&lt;title&gt;Windows!&lt;/title&gt;");
 msg.document.write("&lt;body onblur=window.close()&gt;");
 msg.document.write("Search Instructions:");
 msg.document.write("&lt;br&gt;1." + p +);
 msg.document.write("&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;&lt;p&gt;");
 
 }
 &lt;/script&gt;

You were missing one quotation mark and had an extra one. I would have to see what is happening to figure out anyother problems. And you named your window twice, as the red parts show:

<i>
 </i>[COLOR=Red]msg[/COLOR]=window.open("",[COLOR=Red]"msg"[/COLOR],"height=340,width=250,left=10,top=40");

@jimmyzhuauthorNov 08.2005 — #Hi Hi konithomimo,

That codes works well in click button at input box.

I want to move to inline at a tag. but it not works. it seem it does not call javascript function.

msg can be make more line based on information to be displayed.

test<b> <a href="" onClick="javascript:info('test')">Benchmark</a></b>

Thanks for your time.

Nice day

@konithomimoNov 09.2005 — #test<b> <a href="#" onClick="info('test')">Benchmark</a></b>

@jimmyzhuauthorNov 09.2005 — #Hi Konithomimo,

Thanks for your help.

However. It does not work. and message as object expected.

also i found that path checged to file:///C:/test.html#

that means codes addeds a # to path in URL?

I alse try to this code <a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="info('test')">Benchmark</a>. It works in pict item. but it does not works in thsi code. strange for this issue? any solution?

Thanks for friends' time.

@konithomimoNov 09.2005 — #Fix this line:

msg.document.write("<br>1." + p +);

it should be:

msg.document.write("<br>1." + p);

and then post all of your code so that I can see exactly what is happening.

@konithomimoNov 09.2005 — #Here is your code atlered and working:

<i>
 </i>&lt;html&gt;
 &lt;head&gt;
 &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 function info(p) 
 {
 alert(p);
 var msg = window.open("","newwin","height=340,width=250,left=10,top=40");
 var tmp = msg.document;
 tmp.write('&lt;html&gt;&lt;title&gt;Windows!&lt;/title&gt;');
 tmp.write('&lt;body onblur=window.close()&gt;'); 
 tmp.write('Search Instructions:');
 tmp.write('&lt;br&gt;1.' + p);
 tmp.write('&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;');
 tmp.close();
 }
 &lt;/script&gt;
 &lt;/head&gt;
 &lt;body&gt;&lt;a href="" onClick="info('test')"&gt;Benchmark&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/body&gt;
 &lt;/html&gt;

var tmp = msg.document;

tmp.write('<html><title>Windows!</title>');

//tmp.write('<body onblur=window.close()>');

tmp.write('Search Instructions:');

tmp.write('<br>1.' + p);
