Hi,
I`m trying to pull some java up from a cgi script, and I`m having problems, I`m guessing, so
how would i write -

<!-- if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){ document.write("<a href=\"http://www.any.com/\" onClick=\"parent.Preview(this);return false\" class=\"nlg\"><b>PreviewThis</b></a>");}else{ document.write(" - ");}//-->


it needs to go inbetween -

print "<script language=JavaScript></script>";

and it does not work in it`s present format, what do you think is wrong, anybody?

Thanks

Mel

I'm not into JavaScript as a rule, but I can tell you what is wrong with it... first of there might be problems if all of it was just the one line...

<!--
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
&nbsp; &nbsp; document.write('<a href="http://www.any.com/" onClick="javascript:parent.Preview(this);return false;" class="nlg"><b>PreviewThis</b></a>');
} else {
&nbsp; &nbsp; document.write(' - ');
}//-->

Try that, I've bolded the changes (note that JavaScript is all one word but the board broke it up). I'm not sure which way around the single or double quotes go (i.e if it's single inside double or double inside single) - but it was the only thing obivious I could see that might cause a problem.

Thanks Tiggy,
I`ll give this a play with,

Mel, appreciate it.

When using quotes inside of quotes you have to do one the following:

instead of double quotes in javascript, use single quotes
or,
use the markup code for it likes this \"

Note: I do not use perl so I am assuming that the
PRINT statement also ends with a ; like javascript does.

In this example I have converted all quotes to \"

print "<script language=JavaScript>";
print "<!--";
print "if (navigator.appName == \"Microsoft Internet Explorer\") {";
print " document.write('<a href=\"http://www.any.com/\" ";
print "onClick=\"javascript:parent.Preview(this);ret urn false;\" ";
print "class=\"nlg\"><b>PreviewThis</b></a>');";
print "} else { ";
print " document.write(' - '); ";
print "}//--> ";
print "</script>";
