Simple question 1

[LarrySteele]

I can't believe I'm asking this question.

I found javascript for Base64 encoding:

http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html.

The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to use the script

I correctly presumed the following would not work:
[tt]var e = encode('hello world');[/tt]

So how do I use this script?

TIA,
Larry

is that all you did? Simply type in:

var e = encode('hello world'); ???

Did you put the script on your page?

Did you try to display the value of "e" once it was encoded???

Please post the full implementation

GOOGLE is a great resource to find answers to questions like "how do i..."

If you don't know exaclty what you want to do or what to search on, try Google Suggest:

I have recently been semi-converted to ensuring all my code (well most of it) works in both javascript and non-javasc

Hi

There is defined a method not a function. So :

[b]var[/b] e [teal]=[/teal] [highlight]Base64[teal].[/teal][/highlight][COLOR=darkgoldenrod]encode[/color][teal]([/teal][green][i]'hello world'[/i][/green][teal]);[/teal]

is that all you did?" Nope, all I posted. Started getting verbose, but didn't want to bore with the obvious.

Right now it's an external file, with src attribute set so the script tag can find it.

[tt]
var e = encode('hello world');
alert(e);
[/tt]

Alert displays "Undefined";

Removed the src attribute from the script tag and put the complete script on page. Refreshed the page and as expected I received same results. Returned the script to external file.

feherke,

I swear, I attempted the very same thing with no joy. I wonder if I tried base64.

Oh, it's been a really long week.

This is one of those times when I wish we could delete our posts!

Thanks!
