Var Assignment.

[n2K]

I have a var in a javascript like so:
<script language="javascript">

var timerID = null;
var timerRunning = false;
var timeIncrement = 0;
LATER in the code I need to assign a session var to the local var like
so....

timeIncrement = session("incTime")

How do I do this?

I keep getting errors like "an exception of type MS jscript runtime...
Object expected was not handled"

tx,

NB

You cannot mix serverside and clientside code that way.

timeIncrement = '<% = session("incTime") %>'

mind the [single] quotes

 

[n2K]

Been there tried that. What happens is the STRING '<% = session("incTime")
%>' is assigned to timeIncrement!

Not true, if used in an .asp file on an asp server.

If you don't use ASP, why post here?

So leave out the quotes,

timeIncrement = <% = session("incTime") %>

or do an explicit type conversion.

timeIncrement = <%= session("incTime") %>

or do an explicit type conversion.

.... in your client-side code, not inside the server-side brackets

Regardless how I try this, the <% and %> do not appear in the typical
hilight Yellow color!

timeIncrement = <% = session("incTime") %>

Actually it is true, I've added watches and it is assigned theString value.
And yes, in an ASP page on an ASP server. Not trying to be difficult, simply
laying out what results I am getting.

Perhaps if I include the entire code snippet, it may help.

<script language="javascript">

function startclock() {
stopclock();
timeValue = '<%=session("timerInc")%>';
timerID = setInterval("increment()", timeValue);
timerRunning = true;
document.images.bar.src=image00.src;
}
</script>

SNIPPET END

Thanks

Not for me either in a script block (assuming you are using Interdev). The
yellow-highlight is only applied in the html area. Ignore the lack of
highlighting. It works even though Interdev does not recognize it.

Of course you are right. Don't know what I was thinking.

function startclock() {
stopclock();
timeValue = '<%=session("timerInc")%>';

As I said before, if you want timeValue to be a number, either get rid of
the quotes

timeValue = <%=session("timerInc")%>;

Or use a conversion function on the variable to convert it to a number. The
unary + operator can be used for this:

timeValue = '<%=session("timerInc")%>';
timerID = setInterval("increment()", +timeValue);
timerRunning = true;
document.images.bar.src=image00.src;
}
</script>

Look at the page's source after running it (comment out the setInterval
statement) to see what is happening

Bob, I tried to remove the quotes as you had previouslsy mentioned and I
still get the same error.

I don't rememeber the mentioning of an error... oh! the "object expected"
error? Can you post the page's source?

Are you sure the problem isn't the increment() function? Does it work if you
hard-code a numeric value into timeValue rather than using the
response.write?

Let me try to duplicate this ... nope - it works fine for me. I think the
issue is elsewhere.
