expected identifier error

[barry]

sString.Append("document.forms[0]. + name + .style.visibility = 'hidden'" &
vbCrLf)

The above is found in a function which has had name passed to it. This
code is in the asp.net codebehind

The name converts to card17 and would like code to look like this when
converted:

document.forms[0].card17.style.visibility = hidden

Would appreciate any help
thanks

Barry,

sString.Append("document.forms[0].");
sString.Append(name);
sString.Append(".style.visibility = 'hidden';");
sString.Append(vbCrLf);

The problem Chris is that the sString.Append(name) gives an error about not
being declared

sString.Append("document.forms[0]. + name + .style.visibility =
'hidden'" & vbCrLf)

Barry,

sString.Append("document.forms[0].");
sString.Append(name);
sString.Append(".style.visibility = 'hidden';");
sString.Append(vbCrLf);

error about not being declared

Barry,

What type is sString? Could you post more code that demonstrates the
problem?

Thanks.

Chris.

Chris here is the code. Basically it presents cards to the page and when I
click on a card I want it to become invisible. (line xx)
I have not given you all the code that goes through numbering the cards etc.
I have done a alert on the name parm and it does show the correct card being
clicked on ----- but how to convert it so line xx accepts it is the
problem.


***********************************************************
Dim sString As System.Text.StringBuilder
sString = New System.Text.StringBuilder

sString.Append("<script language='Javascript'>" & vbCrLf)

sString.Append("document.write(""<img class=setup")
sString.Append(r)
sString.Append(" src=../Solitary/images/")
sString.Append(abc)
sString.Append(" name=card")
sString.Append(r + u)
sString.Append(" id=card")
sString.Append(r + u)
sString.Append(" onclick=MakeInvisible(name)")
sString.Append(" runat = server")
sString.Append(">"");" & vbCrLf)

sString.Append("function MakeInvisible(name) {" & vbCrLf)

line xx sString.Append("(document.forms[0].name.style.visibility =
'hidden')" & vbCrLf)
}
sString.Append("</script>")

Barry,

So it's the browser's JavaScript that's raising the error,
right? In that case, change line xx to call getElementById:

sString.Append("document.getElementById(name).style.visibility = 'hidden'; }" & vbCrLf)

Thank you so very much - that sure did the trick - I really appreciate your
time.
