Javascript not working

[svsuthar1]

Hey All,

The below code is not working...it's giving me this.getInventory.value is null... Please help... and on the text field it's repating Response.write(Date) instead of the date.

the code

Response.Write("<TD><input type=text name=Date " & _
iCount & ".Date"" Value=Response.Write(Date)>&nbsp;<A href=""javascript:ShowDate('getInventory.Date',this.getInventory.Date.value)""><IMG src=""..\images\help.gif"" align=middle border=0></A></TD>")

Try:

Response.Write("<TD><input type=text name='Date" & _
iCount & ".Date' value="&Date&">")
&nbsp;<A href="javascript:ShowDate(getInventory.Date,this.getInventory.Date.value)"><IMG src="..\images\help.gif" align="middle" border="0"></A></TD>

Your " are all screwed up - what are you using dreamweaver or something?

 

[cLFlaVA]

The javasript should read as follows:

<a href="ShowDate(document.forms['getInventory'].elements['Date'],document.forms['getInventory'].elements['Date'].value)">

What does your code look like now - also what does it look like when you view source in the browser?

 

[svsuthar1]

Response.Write("<TD><input type=text name=Date " & _
iCount & ".Date"" Value=Response.Write(Date)>&nbsp;<A href=""javascript:ShowDate('getInventory.Date',this.getInventory.Date.value)""><IMG src=""..\images\help.gif"" align=middle border=0></A></TD>")

This is my current code. The above codes given to me gave me syntax error this is the only code that populates the page... when I click the Help.gif it gives me this.getInventory.date is null or not an object, and the text box say's Reasponse.write Date.

 

[TheConeHead]

yes - because your " are screwed up...

Response.Write("<TD><input type=text name='Date" & _
iCount & ".Date' value="&Date&">")
&nbsp;<A href="javascript:ShowDate(getInventory.Date,this.getInventory.Date.value)"><IMG src="..\images\help.gif" align="middle" border="0"></A></TD>

 

[svsuthar1]

I have tried this, and tried again... but it gives me..

expected statement at the following line

&nbsp;<A href="javascript:ShowDate(getInventory.Date,this.getInventory.Date.value)"><IMG src="..\images\help.gif" align="middle" border="0"></A></TD>

 

[cLFlaVA]

no offense, but this code is a jumbled mess.

Are you getting a JavaScript error or some other error?

[chessbot]

How about this (not that I know ASP):

Response.Write("<TD><input type=text name='Date" & _
            iCount & ".Date' value="&Date&">" & _
"&nbsp;<A href=""javascript:ShowDate(getInventory.Date,this.getInventory.Date.value)""><IMG src=""..\images\help.gif"" align=""middle"" border=""0""></A></TD>

[svsuthar1]

Thanks chessbot, I tired that but it did not work.

I am getting javascript error

 

[cLFlaVA]

Most likely, this is where your error lies:

getInventory.Date,this.getInventory.Date.value

And the way to fix that is in one of my posts above.

the object this is an anchor tag. It does not have any object named 'getInventory' associated with it. For this reason I provided you a solution above.

[TheConeHead]

What does your code look like when viewed in the browser? After the ASP has been processed out?

 

[svsuthar1]

I have tried what you have given to me... and yes you are correct the error is occuring at the place you have told. It still gives me expected statement at that same line.

Thanks alot for your help please don't mind mine frustration.. I want to get this thing working and it's taking up so much of my time.

My next suggestion matches TheConeHead's.

When you're viewing the page, do a View > Source and copy us the relevant code.

[cLFlaVA]

My first new piece of advice is to put this between ASP tags:

<% Response.Write(Date) %>

(i think that's how you do it)

My second new piece of advice is to get rid of the period in your field name, as well as the space.

name=Date 16.Date

is invalid.

At best, it should read

name="Date16"

Always use quotes around attributes.

Finally, what are these parameters SUPPOSED to be that are passed into the showdate function?

First, you're passing it a string literal : 'getInventory.Date' and then you're passing it the non-existent object I mentioned before.

1. You can not put a Response.write in another Response.write -

Response.Write("<TD><input type=text name=Date " & _
iCount & ".Date"" Value=Response.Write(Date)>&nbsp

should at least be changed to:

Response.Write("<TD><input type='text' name='Date' " & _
iCount & ".Date" Value='"&Date&"'>&nbsp
do you understand why?

 

[svsuthar1]

I am not sure about the other part of of calander I got from friend... It works fine with other pages I have used, I am not sure why it does not work here.

Response.write at the value are is used so when you refresh it keeps the value you set.

I think it's minor " or ' error because javascript is not able to find a date to pop up the calander.

[TheConeHead]

Couple things:
1. you can not response.write inside another repsonse.write

2. Your " are definetly screwed up

3. Your names are messed up as well. As cLFlaVA said Date16.Date is invalid, so is 13.Action. Do not start with a number or include .'s
