Javascript alert message problem

[Tony Girgenti]

Hello.

I'm developing and testing a web application using VS.NET 2003, VB, .NET
Framework 1.1.4322, ASP.NET 1.1.4322 and IIS5.1 on a WIN XP Pro, SP2
computer. I'm using a web form.

Using this line of code works great. It displays a little message box with
the alert message in it.

Me.btnGetArchiv edTrips.Attribu tes.Add("onMous eOver", "alert('mou se over')")

But how do i get it to display the alert message without doing a mouse over,
just trying to put it into an if statement ?

If Calendar1.Selec tedDate Me.Calendar2.Se lectedDate) Then
alert('mouse over')")
End If

Thanks,
Tony

Firefox (mostly for tabbed browsing), but that will be available in IE
too.

Two things:
1. I still won't leave that "millions of users" audience

I am not sure if you're stubborn on purpose, or if you really don't
understand what I say.

You advised the OP to abandon JScript and learn only JavaScript. In
other words, you recommended to stop developing for IE and develop only
for Mozilla-based browsers.

My recommendation is to not develop for one browser in particular, but
to use standard constructs and feature detection to make code compatible
with all major browsers.

Noone asks you to leave any audience. By using standards you can win
both worlds easily. Why would you want to do anything else?

2. Firefox is anyway more secure as compared to IE. Well, at least I have
more faith in it :-)

Once again, noone asked you to leave anything aside. Besides, your
personal preference is totally irrelevant, as you don't develop websites
for yourself but for users, who may have other preferences.

If you were a cook and only baked chocolate pies because that's what you
prefer, you wouldn't have many customers.

Should be the second part. :-)

btw, still wondering why go for JScript when JavaScript should be just
enough... Or again, I'm really not understanding something :D

That's my guess too ;-)

JScript is Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript. You use JScript
when you program a script which runs in Internet Explorer.

JavaScript is Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript. You use
JavaScript when you program a script which runs in Mozilla-based
browsers (Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla...).

If you program only JavaScript, but no JScript, it's the same as saying
that you want to program only in Mozilla-based browsers, and
deliberately ignore IE.

What I am saying is that it's easy enough to have good script working in
both browsers. So I don't see the need to ignore IE.
