Limitation of Var variable

[Pawan]

Hi,

Can anyone please suggest me on this.

I am using var variable to get a string.Its working fine if string is
of simple type.

But giving error after entering 'Enter' or 'special charcters' in the
string.

Is it a limitation to var variable?

Can anyone suggest me on this.

Thanks,
Pawan

You're not using a var to "get" the string, you're just storing it
(after you've got it) into a variable. The important thing here is how
you're getting the variable. You could be receiving it via a JSON or XML
file, you could be capturing the keys, reading it from a form input.
There are many ways you could be "get"ting the string, and it's these
methods that are important in determining your problem. Explain how
you're getting it, and post the relevant bit of code and you'll be more
easily helped :)

var is getting this value from a text box.

What is a 'var variable'? One declared with the var keyword to limit
its scope?

But giving error after entering 'Enter' or 'special charcters' in
the string.

What error? What characters are special? What code are you using?

Certainly, as there are no other variables.

Yes. I look forward to moving, getting my own Inet connection back up,
and having a proper NNTP server to use again.

Certainly, as there are no other variables.

In casu strictior there are:

Function arguments are not declared with the var statement.

DOM variables are not declared with the var statement.
