I need to know how to pass variables because I want to use the same
function to varify multiple data imput boxes.
Please tell me what's wrong with this code.
<head>
<script language="JavaS cript">
function myFunction(this ){
entry=document. Forms[0].this.value;
if (document.Forms[0].this.value=="" ){
document.Forms[0].this.focus();
}
else {
// Do something with "entry" here
}
if (this = "inputBox2" ) {
document.Forms[0].total.value = document.Forms[0].inputBox1.valu e +
document.Forms[0].inputBox2.valu e;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="inputBox1 " onBlur="myFunct ion(this)">
<input type="text" name="inputBox2 " onBlur="myFunct ion(this)">
<input type="text" name="total">
</form>
</body>

"this" is a keyword representing the current object, it shouldn't and can't
be used as a parameter name.
Try
function myFunction(refe renceToAnInput) {
entry=document. Forms[0].this.value;
You've got a reference to the form element itself, it's unnecessary to
reference the input this way. Simply use:
var entry = referenceToAnIn put.value;
if (document.Forms[0].this.value=="" ){
You store the input's value in a variable then you don't use it. If you're
retrieving "entry", then make use of it:
if (entry == "") {
document.Forms[0].this.focus();
referenceToAnIn put.focus();
}
else {
// Do something with "entry" here
}
if (this = "inputBox2" ) {
if (referenceToAnI nput.name == "inputBox2" ) {
document.Forms[0].total.value = document.Forms[0].inputBox1.valu e
+document.Forms[0].inputBox2.valu e;
var referenceToTheF orm = referenceToAnIn put.form;
referenceToTheF orm.total.value =
parseFloat(refe renceToTheForm. inputBox1.value ) + parseFloat(entr y);
You need to parseFloat() because the values in input boxes are strings, if
you simply added them together with "+", it would concatenate them, not add
their numeric values (see <url: http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_21 />)
Since you retrieve "entry" at the beginning of the function, you might as
well use it here rather then retrieving it again.
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="inputBox1 " onBlur="myFunct ion(this)">
<input type="text" name="inputBox2 " onBlur="myFunct ion(this)">
<input type="text" name="total">
</form>
</body>
Note that by using the onblur event, and putting focus back on the input
when the input is invalid, you've trapped the user in that input until they
enter something, and created a situation that could lead to an endless loop
where they blur the input, you put the focus back on it, some other sequence
of events blurs it again and so on.

Does anyone have experience with passing variables from an ASP page to
a JSP page.
The way it currently works in passing the SSN in the URL. This cannot
be good.
I thought that storing a unique session ID in a cookie and referencing
the SSN from the Session ID would be the correct way to do this. But
since we have two separate servers, IIS and Websphere, how do we
coordinate the session ID?

This is the most fundamental action I am sure, but I can't seem to make it happen.
I am familiar with passing variables in ASP. But that doesn't seem to be the preferred method in .NET. I have some scripts that run at the server for the form so I can't disable that statement. I followed Microsoft's instructions(I know..not the best thing to do) but still can't get the variables to pass.
I created a class and set up an @reference...
