Multiple variables won't seem to pass from Perl to Javascript

1 New Member
Hello all!

I am a seasoned programmer, but not really with Javascript. I have a strange phenomenon going on that for the life of me I cannot figure out what is wrong.

I am calling a javascript function from perl. (I am using cgi.pm). I created a HTML button, and I am calling the javascript with the "onClick" property. Like this:

Perl: -onClick=>"myFun ction($a, $b)"

Java: function myFunction(myA, myB) { stuff...}

I can pass $a, but when I try to pass both $a and $b, the function won't run. If I change $b to a literal, like 'hello' it works fine.

This is so bizarre to me that I can't pass more than one variable from Perl into the Javascript. But I can pass multiple literals.

Is anyone familiar with this?

How does this turn out in JavaScript? When you view the source code, is it as you expect it to be?

This may be a dumb question but can you tranfer variables stored in a PHP page on one server to a page on a different server via a form POST and be able to access those variables on the new page using Perl? From my understanding of HTTP I can't see why this should be a problem but it does not seem to work at the moment although I am sure it is not a scripting error at this stage (Any newbie-level explanations welcomed!!) Thanks

I am trying to write a Perlscript to be used with some HTML pages. Here is how it works: 1.. The first HTML page has a form which requests for user input. Then it passes the QUERY_STRING to a Perl script. 2.. The Perl script will then validate the data. If input validation fails, it returns to the previous screen and asks the user to retry. If the validation passes, it display the user input and asks for confirmation.

Hi, I'm trying to understand a situation where ASP seems to be "blocking" of "queuing" requests. This is on a Win2K Advanced Server, with IIS5. I've seen some posts (e.g., http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=Tidy7IDbDHA.2108%40cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl) that indicate that ASP will queue up requests when they come in with the same "session".

Does JavaScript have "static" variables. That is, as in C (or local in Perl)? How can I keep a variable in a JavaScript function that doesn't change from call to call? It may not make sense in JavaScript; I'm not sure when the variables are re-set, but I assume it's at each page full reload. But, what if I want to validate a form, and force a user to re-enter something I find invalid, but only do it the first 1 or 2 times. Then, I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
