I forget who mentioned it, but making sure that your 'hearTo' documents are appropriately single quoted is important.
A simple way that I build them out is either to KNOW what really belongs in them with something simple like
my $jScript = '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function doit() {
var preThing ="http://";;
var adminRoot ="' . $admin_root . '";
var destBase ="/' . $self_cgi . '/";
if (( document.FormName.H.value != "" )) {
document.FormName.action = preThing + document.FormName.H.value + adminRoot + destBase ;
} else {
document.FormName.action = ".." + destBase;
}
document.FormName.method = "POST";
if ( document.FormName.OpenWinBox.checked ) {
document.FormName.target = "_blank";
}else {
document.FormName.target = "MainData";
}
return(true);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
';
my $form = hq_web_form($self_cgi,'post','MainData','FormName','doit()');
...
my $p = $jScript . $form ;
h_white_page("Import Hq Config","Import Hq Config", \$p );
....
or build up that $jScript in sections.... Where we have to add in really dynamic bits, such as Arrays and the like.
What Tends to DRIVE ME NUTS!!!! is the javaScript Side.
It would have been nice if the DOM's had the idea of dealing with an Array of One Element.... Which may be what is killing you.
There are also problems of making sure that your JavaScript KNOWS to check that you did or did not put an element into the document.... eg something like
var callLen = document.FormName.callForm.length ;
if (( callLen )) {
// we have MORE than one element in the form
for (var i=0 ; i < document.FormName.callForm.length; i++ )
{
if (( document.FormName.callForm[i].checked )) {
if ((document.FormName.callForm[i].value == "hqD_ops")) {
.....
} else {
retval = altFileFinal();
if (( retval == false )) { return false;}
document.FormName.callForm.checked = true;
}Oh there are some Grave and UnPleasant Things that can go wrong when trying to create dynamic javaScript - whether you were trying that with perl, java, python, ruby, and if you were trying to do this in c89, you really should seek competent psychiatric help first... 8-)
