syntax error in JavaScript

or this:

onClick='MarkToDelete(269,\'testt.doc\'); return false';  

Thanks so much for the quick response.  The first comment you offered caused it to give me an ASP error 'expected end of line' and the second on returns invalid character.  Any other thoughts??  

It will take the 269 argument twice.  So the problem isn't with 2 parameters being passed.. its' something with that filename.  However, even that still causes return false to not act right.   I'm not even processing with it in MarkToDelete.  All I want to use it for is a popup to say are you sure you want to delete testt.doc.  

I see now, so this line is being generated with ASP?  Can you show me the ASP code ?

off the bat, I'd say you should add "return false;" to the bottom of the MarkToDelete function, then do this:

onClick='return MarkToDelete(269,\'testt.doc\');'

what is this onclick handler in anyway?  an Anchor tag?  a button?

I never posted in here.. so I hope this code isn't horrible to read! :)


Set objComp = Session("DataObj").GetRecords("tblQuoteUploadHistory", strWhere2, "", Application("UDL"))
               
If Not objComp.EOF Then blnHasFiles = true
If blnHasFiles Then
While Not objComp.EOF
   
  Response.Write "<td><input type='image'  
  src='images/SmallRedX.gif' alt='Delete File' border='0'
  onClick='MarkToDelete(" & objComp("TransactID") & ", '"  
  & objComp("ServerFileName") & "'); return    
  false';></input>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td></tr>"

ObjComp.MoveNext
WEnd
Else
  Response.Write"<tr><td colspan='5' align='center'  
  class='nsWHead' bgcolor='#770000'><i>No Files Associated
  With This Quote</i></td></tr>"
End if
objComp.Close
Set objComp = Nothing


Here is the javascript function:

function MarkToDelete(sQuoteID, sFileName)
{    

if(!confirm("Are you sure you want to delete" + sFileName + "?"))
{
return false;
} // end if

window.open("QuoteDeleteFile.asp?QuoteID=" + sQuoteID + "&Action=Delete", "MarkedDel","height=80,width=350,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=no");
}  // end MarkToDelete()

try this:

Response.Write "<td><input type='image'  
 src='images/SmallRedX.gif' alt='Delete File' border='0'
 onClick='MarkToDelete(""" & objComp("TransactID") & """, '"  
 & objComp("ServerFileName") & "'); return    
 false';></input>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td></tr>"

That give me ASP error 'expected end of statement'.... I also tried moving the return false, but that had no effect......

you did un-word-wrap that line, correct?

i.e., it should all be on one line.

Actually what I think  that did  was this:  'MarkToDelete("" & objComp("TransactID") & "", '"... that ' is now acting as a comment and it doens't process the rest of the line.

Yep, it is all on one line.

I also tried:

onClick="MarkToDelete(" & objComp("TransactID") & ", ' " & objComp("ServerFileName") & " ')"; return false;>

And that had the same effect... with that ' turning everything into a comment.

in VBScript (ASP) if you double a double-quote character, it is printed as a quote ... like this:

response.write "She said ""Hello"" to me!"

therefore:

onClick='MarkToDelete(""" & objComp("TransactID") """, '" & objComp("ServerFileName") & "'); return false';

oh wait!  we left out a & ...

onClick='MarkToDelete(""" & objComp("TransactID") & """, '" & objComp("ServerFileName") & "'); return false';

correction, I did.

DOH!  Actually, I quoted the wrong thing!


onClick='MarkToDelete( " & objComp("TransactID") & ", '""" & objComp("ServerFileName") & """'); return false';

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

Works like a charm :)  I NEVER would have realized that about the double quotes!

Thanks again :)

Very quick and dependable help.  :)

dependable except I had to redo it 10 times to get it right :)

Thanks for the A!
