RE: CF and JavaScript HELP - Maybe OT?

2004-01-15 Thread John Grubb 
Forgot to mention we're stuck in CF 4.0, but thanks for the response. Nice
to know someone cares ; ). I think I'll have to manually escape each special
character withcfset mystring = Replace(mystring, ', \', ALL)

 Maybe you have a better solution?

Perhaps JSStringFormat() would help?

If CF4 supports replacelist():

cfscript
mystring=foo to the bar;
lstbad=foo,bar;
lstgood=\foo,\bar;
mystring=replacelist(mystring,lstbad,lstgood);
/cfscript

This is probably not a very efficient approach if your code is heavily
trafficked, but nothing else comes to mind...

CF and JavaScript HELP - Maybe OT?

2004-01-14 Thread John Grubb 
Tough day. Alzheimers is acting up. I have the following _javascript_ code:

script language=_javascript_
	cfloop query=get_individuals
		cfoutputcfset valuedata=#cattasc_member_id#/cfoutput
		cfoutputcfset optiontext=#WholeName#/cfoutput
		cfoutputc=#currentrow#-1;/cfoutput//599
		var nopt = new Option();
		cfoutputnopt.value = #valuedata#;/cfoutput
		cfoutputnopt.text = #optiontext#;/cfoutput
		parent.frames[0].document.all.individuallist1.options[c] = nopt;
	/cfloop
/script

Everything works fine until I get a non alpha-numeric character, i.e., ., , ', /, , (, ), in the #WholeName# variable. Then, _javascript_ bombs and returns an error: error expected ';'. 

Can someone help me with handling regular expressions in _javascript_, so the above code will accept special characters in the name? Grateful doesn't begin to describe how I'll feel.
