Hai Rakuli.. Guess what? I did not have enough sleep yesterday night doing the ASP-JS thing!

Actually I am not very clear what to do! I have some "rough time" with this code, could you give me a brain wash!?

HTML: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>Randomly Chosen</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<%
/* ASP logic here that will print either 'var showPmpopup = false;' or 'var showPmpopup = true' */
%>
</script>
</head>

My current code is this:

HTML: Select all

<%response.write ("<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>")%>
    
    If (<%=cp("myMessageElert")%> = NEW)
    {
        <%response.write ("var showPMpopup = true;")%>
    }
    Else
    {
        <%response.write ("var showPMpopup = false;")%>
    }
<%response.write ("</SCRIPT>")%>

if I run them, there will be an js error that i can see from my developer tool but when i see the source code of the page, it is like this:

HTML: Select all

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
    
If (NEW = NEW)
{
   var showPMpopup = true;
}
Else
{
   var showPMpopup = false;
}
</SCRIPT>

</head>

Okay, so you're going wrong with the fact that IF and ELSE shouldn't actually appear on the page...

After the ASP work is done, the source code for this part should read

<script type="text/javascript">
var showPMpopup = true;
</script>

or

<script type="text/javascript">
var showPMpopup = false;
</script>

So in ASP you would ask

Does this asp variable hold a value of true ?

If yes, write the fist thing to the page, if not write the other...

Cheers,

Ooooo......!!
So how do I hide the IF ELSE part from being display?
Hemmm...!!!

Rakuli · #25 Nov 7th, 2007, 05:12

Well it appears that this part of you ASP code is just going straight to the page...

From my limited ASP knowledge

PHP: Select all


<script type="text/javascript">

<%

If myMessageElert = "NEW" Then

    Response.Write("var showPMpopup = true;")

Else

    Response.Write("var showPMpopup = false;")

End If

%>

</script>

Ok, I manage to settle that. this is what my page looks like after running the ASP-JS code:

HTML: Select all

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>var showPMpopup = true;</SCRIPT>

and I have tested to change the myMessageElert = "READ"and the code works fine detecting the value if it is "NEW" or other than that!

Here is the new problem: IF is not define!

Code: Select all

<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
// Place this just below the <body> tag
If (showPMpopup)
{
    document.write('<div style="width:300px;height:150px;border:solid 1px #000000;background-color:blue;position:absolute;top:-155px;left:100px;" id="PMpopup">PM Stuff here, you could write me without javascript or write me with ASP... this is as an example....</div>');
    // now to animate the popup
    // set some variables

take the capitalisation away from If...

Pretty much just copy my entire post from above ^ -- there is no need to change anything in that code

Monie · #28 Nov 7th, 2007, 05:41

Here is a +rep point for you Rakuli!

Nicely done! You are the great!
Nicely flow down my page cool page.. got some positioning problem tho, but I can fix it in no time!

Thanks Rakuli

EDIT: Ooopsss... I have to spread some rep to other people first in order to spread some to you! You just hold on there!

Monie · #29 Nov 7th, 2007, 06:15

Hai Rakuli, just one final question!

I tried posting new message, but the sliding thing won't come out?

Monie · #30 Nov 7th, 2007, 08:04

Solved it, It's just my SQL statement! Thanks..

Rakuli · #31 Nov 7th, 2007, 08:24

Great! Told you it was easy

** Rakuli awaits Rep but does not worry too much as Monie's elation is all he needs..**

Monie · #32 Nov 7th, 2007, 08:38

**monie try as hard as he can in order to spread some reputation point around, but couldn't find any.. He pointed his mouse to his own rep button to see if that can do the trick
