write a variable to a html page

I don't know JavaScript but have been tasked to write a script that will change the value of a Boolean variable to the word "Yes" on a table row. I have been trying to achieve this based on my knowledge of ActionScript. Needless to say, I have not been successful!

##CUSTOM_SUB_MARKETEYE## is a tag that pulls the Boolean result from a database. It returns 1 when it is true and null when it is false. I need to convert that "1" to the word "Yes" and write the word "Yes" to a row in my table.

I realize how much I am asking but would be eternally grateful if someone would help me with this. I appologize, I just don't know where to start. I have been searching the web and begging favors for a day and a half and have gotten absolutely no where. Thanks in advance to anyone who will help! Julie

 <script type="text/javascript"><!--

document.getElementById("##CUSTOM_SUB_MARKETEYE##");

var Marketeye = "##CUSTOM_SUB_MARKETEYE##";

if (Marketeye == true) 

{

Marketeye = "Yes";

}

else

{

Marketeye = "No";

}

// --></script>

This is my html document. Where the ##CUSTOM_SUB...## tags are in my html is where I need to write the converted variable. I do not have to have the tags there.

Welcome to TSDN!

Can you change the page which generates the HTML code. If you can, it would be good idea to add some IDs to the table cells which contain these variables. Then you can access them using document.getElementById(). If you can't, I can think of other ways to do this.

Thank you for your response. I can add IDs to the cells. Like this?

[HTML]<table style="height: 148px;" border="0" width="667">
<tbody><tr>
<td width="177"><b>MarketEye</b></td>
<td id="market" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" width="480"> <b>##CUSTOM_SUB_MARKETEYE##</b></td>

Yes, you can. Now you can access the table cell containing the variable using document.getElementById("market"). To get the actual contents, you can use innerHTML. This will give you a string. You can use replace() to replace the boolean value with Yes/No.

I tried this but it did not work. Am I missing a step or is my syntax wrong?

Thanks again for helping me!!!

Try something like:

 <script type="text/javascript">

function changeText() {

  var market = document.getElementById("market");

  var mystr = market.innerHTML;

  mystr = mystr.replace(/false/, "No");

  market.innerHTML = mystr;

}

window.onload=changeText;

</script>

Thanks so much for continuing to help me! I understand your code perfectly now but it still does not work. I think it is because I am trying to replace a tag (##CUSTOM_SUB_MARKETEYE##) which is pulling data from a data base. Can you think of anything else I could try? Thanks again. Julie

I see it's 1 and 0 instead of true/false. Replace true and false in the regexp (/true/ and /false/) with 1 and 0 respectively.

Just a note that you could do this on the server-side with whatever language is generating the page and converting the tags to 1 and 0.
