[fullmetal87]

Hi all,

I am very new with javascript.. and there is alot i am not sure of

 
function getMessage(rec,desc,url) 
{     
var ans; ans=window.confirm('The AssetType ' + rec + ' ['+ desc  + '] will be deleted. Would you like to continue?'); //alert (ans); 
if (ans==true) { 
    top.location.href= url + "?Code=" + rec + "&DeleteType=AssetType";
        } 
else { } 
}
 

I have this javascript but I parameter i pass in is causing some problem.
e.g rec = 'abc - sdf'
rec = 'sdf(yes)'
the character "-" and "(" is has cause unterminated string constant error.


Anyone can help me with this problem?? is there a character code to replace those characters??

Thank you in advance

Strange behavior.
It works fine in IE7 and FireFox2.0 and no error appears.

I am using ie 6.0
I try to investigate into the prob here is how i call the javascript

getMessage(" + objCellAssetTypeCode.Text + "," + des + ",'AssetDelete.aspx'

where des is a string e.g

'abc+efg'

'abc efg'

'abc (efg)'

Sorry the error does not lies with "-" but the spacing.
Whenever there is a spacing in the string the error will occur. I tried to reform the string with and change 'abc efg' => 'abc'+'efg' but the spacing is gone

The result I want is to display "abc efg" and not "abcefg"
Anyone can help me with this?

You should call :

getMessage(objCellAssetTypeCode.Text, des, 'AssetDelete.aspx');
