Hello

I am trying to make a solution involving both Javascript and a Filemaker 5 database, but I cannot get even the simplest Javascript to work. Am I missing something out? I have searched the Net and books available to me for a solution, but no luck.I haven't found any threads here giving hints to this problem.

Example. This little test-script:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

alert('[FMP-CurrentRecID]')

//-->

</script>

It just displays "[FMP-CurrentRedID]" instead of, lets say "7". When I put the tag [FMP-CurrentRecID] on the page it displays the number ok, but not inside the javascript.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Lange,

What you can try is to create a function with a parameter that's passed to the alert() function:

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

<!--

function showalert(message) {

alert(message);

}

// -->

</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<P><A HREF="javascript:showalert('[FMP-CurrentRecID]')">Click here to send the RecordID!</A></P>

</BODY>

This should do the trick.

Greetz,

as i'm sure you know the comment tags are only there to hide from older browsers.....if you look at the stats of browser types out there it shouldn't be a problem for > 90% of your visitors

Lasso has the [html_comment] tag for this......maybe this should be added to the WC wish list?!?

Hi all

Thanks for your replies. The idea of removing the comment tags was brilliant. Now it works!

I had not come across this problem before. And it did all the difference! The problems with older browsers; well I think I can live with that - gonna try at least :-)

Best wishes

Lange
