Why must I wrap these calls in a function?

**CiberTHuG** · Apr 16th, 2001, 02:52 PM

Okay, I have two pages. One works in Navigator, the other doesn't. They both work in IE. Would you guys look them over and tell me what is wrong?

Code:

<head>

<script language='JavaScript' src='DynEl.js'></script>

<script language='JavaScript'>

  var table1 = " "
  var table2 = "More test text"

  var dynel1 = new DynEl(window, "d1", table1);
  var dynel2 = new DynEl(window, "d2", table2);

</script>

</head>

<body onload='JavaScript:Init();'>

<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('1');">Show 1</a>
<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('2');">Show 2</a>

<script language='JavaScript'>
  dynel1.output();
  dynel2.output();

  // In Navigator these two lines do not 
  //appear to have been executed
  dynel1.setBody("blah");
  dynel1.setBody("foo", "bar");
</script>

<script language='JavaScript'>

  function Init() {
    Toggle('1');
  }

  function Toggle(index) {

    index = parseInt(index);

    dynel1.hide();
    dynel2.hide();

    if (index == 1) {
      dynel1.show();
    }
    else if (index == 2) {
      dynel2.show();
    }

  }

</script>

</body>

Code:

<head>

<script language='JavaScript' src='DynEl.js'></script>

<script language='JavaScript'>

  var table1 = " "
  var table2 = "More test text"

  var dynel1 = new DynEl(window, "d1", table1);
  var dynel2 = new DynEl(window, "d2", table2);

</script>

</head>

<body onload='JavaScript:Init();'>

<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('1');">Show 1</a>
<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('2');">Show 2</a>

<script language='JavaScript'>
  dynel1.output();
  dynel2.output();

  //But if I wrap these lines in a function
  //and use an event to call that function... it work
  function doRun() {
    dynel1.setBody("blah");
    dynel1.setBody("foo", "bar");
  }

</script>

<script language='JavaScript'>

  function Init() {
    Toggle('1');

    doRun();

  }

  function Toggle(index) {

    index = parseInt(index);

    dynel1.hide();
    dynel2.hide();

    if (index == 1) {
      dynel1.show();
    }
    else if (index == 2) {
      dynel2.show();
    }

  }

</script>

</body>

Attached is the JavaScript source included in the head, it is from the Rhino book, and is not at fault.

Code:

<body onload='java script:Init();'>

<a href="java script:Toggle('1');">Show 1</a>
<a href="java script:Toggle('2');">Show 2</a>

why is there a space between java and script ?
It should be javascript !

**CiberTHuG** · Apr 16th, 2001, 04:15 PM

Odd... I didn't put the spaces there.

Mmm... let me try this...

Code:

<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('1');">Show 1</a>
<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('2');">Show 2</a>

<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('1');">Show 1</a>
<a href="JavaScript:Toggle('2');">Show 2</a>

Cool, this site breaks up JavaScipt and changes the case so each time I get java script.

Ask the admin why. I'm guess it is so it doesn't get interpreted by your browser.
