Java variable into JavaScript

[timmbo]

Hi All,

Attempting to place a java variable, userInfo, into JavaScript code. Can't get the syntax right. Can someone help me out.

document.write('<a href="

http://rscdev:8700/acweb/executerep...ts/CDR_Detail.rox&invokesubmit=true&userID=',

<%=userInfo%>,'&password=xxxxxxx&ParamDorH=D" target="cdrhome">Current Day Detail</a>');

Remove the single-quotes and commas around the <%=userInfo%>. If you're writing a JSP (or something similar), then <%=userInfo%> is just like typing the value for it right there into the string.

Now, if the value of userInfo was equal to the name of a javascript variable in scope at that moment, then the syntax you are using would put the value of that var there (although, you would still have to convert the commas to plus-signs for proper String concatenation).

'hope that helps.

That looks like ASP to me, not Java. Try this:

document.write('<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://rscdev:8700/acweb/executereport.do?__executableName=/PNC/CDR_Roxfiles/StandardRpts/CDR_Detail.rox&invokesubmit=true&userID=<%=userInfo%>&password=xxxxxxx&ParamDorH=D"[/URL] target="cdrhome">Current Day Detail</a>');

But I don't see the point in using JavaScript here. Couldn't you do this?

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://rscdev:8700/acweb/executereport.do?__executableName=/PNC/CDR_Roxfiles/StandardRpts/CDR_Detail.rox&invokesubmit=true&userID=<%=userInfo%>&password=xxxxxxx&ParamDorH=D"[/URL] target="cdrhome">Current Day Detail</a>

Thanks for the replies Dave and Adam. I'll give your suggestions a try.

FYI, Adam:

I'm checking out Tek-Tips with my right hand and writing JSPs with my left. <%=something%> is the format we use to stick Java values into the pages. I'm not familiar with ASPs (though I wish I were). I imagine it's the same.

Yeah, I forgot that other languages use that format. You can even configure PHP to look that way too.
