Calling a function

Krandor

I am trying to click a button, call a javascript function with a variable and then parse the result. At this point it is not doing anything.

What am I doing wrong?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <script language="javascript">
 
function makeBread(abc) {

    If (String(abc)=="1") {

        alert("Bread's Done!:1");

        }

    If (String(abc)=="2") {

        alert("Bread's Done!:2");

        }

}

</script>
 
<body>        

<input type="button" onClick="javascript:makeBread('1');" value="Done">    

</body>

I would omit the String() function since datatypes are converted as you need them.

maybe you want to use switch() instead of 2 if's.

what about an event handler like addEventListener()/attachEvent()?

gits

1. javascript is case-sensitive and therefor:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

If

must be

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

if

otherwise you will get an error because the interpreter 'thinks' you are calling a custom function If() since it is not a keyword.

now it should work with the change, but:

2. the language attribute is deprecated so you should use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<script type="text/javascript">

and

3. the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<input type="button" onClick="javascript:makeBread('1');" value="Done">

should be:

[HTML]<input type="button" onclick="makeBread('1');" value="Done">
[/HTML]
according to the specs.

kind regards
