I have code to develop result page links (like a search engine) for some
results being passed from a database where I've no server-sdide acces -
thus JS.
The code is below and works fine except the function in the onClick
event of the link being written on screen fails indicating 'theForm' as
being passed through is 'not defined'. The form is being passed as
"document.resultAdd" and can be checked as arriving in my function.
So what am I doing wrong?
FWIW, if I place the alert in the calling code (see code example) I see
passed object in the string as [object] - is that what I should expect?
Regards
Mark
