Error with the characters - or.

[l'atelier Ho]

Hello with all

I have a problem with a javascript function and I can't
find the solution. When I put in my SQL table in the field
'artno' a character like "-" or a "." I get the following
error message: missing ')'

See function AddArt()

Sample: Article number like 'TL0012' OK
Article number like 'TL-11.12' essor!

Thank you in advance for all informations.

This would be function call, without the angle brackets and the fields
replaced as appropriate, yes? Well, consider what would happen if you were
to insert a hyphen (-) or dot (.):

document.itemsform.posTL-11quant.value

or

document.itemsform.posPR.89quant.value

The former would be treated as a subtraction. The latter would treat the
article number section as two separate properties.

As such, both fall under the same subject as this FAQ entry:

<URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_25>

That would result in:

document.itemsform.elements[ 'posTL-11quant' ].value

and

document.itemsform.elements[ 'posPR.89quant '].value

Hello Mike

Many thanks four your quick answer. If I understand you correctly I should
add angle brackets. I did it and I get actually the following html source
code:

Onclick="AddArt('Biscuits', '1.00', document.itemsform.pos<NV-123.22
23>.value, document.itemsform.pos<NV-123.22 23>.value)"

The trouble, I still get the same error message.

I changed my php line to the following (I added brackets before and after
$row[3] ):

echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"button\" VALUE=\"$txt_add\" onclick=\"AddArtF('$row[4]',
'$row[6]', document.itemsform.pos<$row[3]>.value,
document.itemsform.pos<$row[3]>.value)\"></TD></TR>";
Best regards

Otto

Many thanks four your quick answer. If I understand you correctly I

html source code:

23>.value, document.itemsform.pos<NV-123.22 23>.value)"

Sorry, no. You didn't understand me correctly.

The function call with the angle brackets was just to display the format
of your calls better. I did ask below it if the format was correct with
the brackets removed and their contents replaced by a code sequence. I
then proceeded to explain, by doing just that - replacing the angle
brackets, why errors occurred: hyphens are treated as subtraction
operators, and dots are treated as property accessors.

It was the last part of my post, after the URI, that showed how to create
a reference correctly that involved characters that are treated as
operators.

document.itemsform.elements[ 'posTL-11quant' ].value

So, the function call you display above would become:

AddArt(
'Biscuits',
'1.00',
document.itemsform.elements[ 'posNV-123.22 23' ].value,
document.itemsform.elements[ 'posNV-123.22 23' ].value );

I hope that's clearer, and I apologise for the confusion.

Hello Mike

php
document.itemsform.elements['pos$row[3]quant'].value

I did the following and now it work very well. Many thanks for
your help. Hope you still have time to relax on this sunday.

I hope that's clearer, and I apologise for the confusion.
I'm also a little bit confuse. My english is not so good.
