Hi

Can you post all your code including the notice() routine?

MK

<script>
var newwindow;
function notice(url)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=260,width =290');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}
</script>
<%
Dim strConnection
Dim objConnection
Dim rstnotice
strConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=;Database=address;Integrated Security=SSPI"
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConnection.Open strConnection
Set rstnotice = objConnection.Execute("SELECT text, name, status FROM notice ")
%>
<%
Do Until rstnotice.EOF
Dim strtext
strtext = rstnotice("text")
If Len(strtext) > 0 then
Do while Instr(1, strtext, "_")
strtext = replace(strtext, "_", " ")
Loop
Else
strtext = "&nbsp;"
End If
Dim strstatus
strstatus = rstnotice("status")
If Len(strstatus) > 0 then
Do while Instr(1, strstatus, "_")
strstatus = replace(status, "_", " ")
Loop
Else
strstatus = "&nbsp;"
End If

Dim strname
strname = rstnotice("name")
If Len(strname) > 0 then
Do while Instr(1, strname, "_")
strname = replace(name, "_", " ")
Loop
Else
strname = "&nbsp;"
End If
%>
<%
If strstatus = "on" Then %>
<a href="javascript:notice('http://neil-1/address/notice/default.asp')"></a>
<%Else
End If
%>

Hi

Change:toMK

no nothings happening?????

Is strstatus definately equal to "on"? Add a Response.Write to check

MK

yes on the database table it is on

Never mind what the database says it is. In your script, does Response.Write(strstatus) return "on"?

MK

This works:
This means the JavaScript is ok and either a) the condition to call the routine is not being met or b) you have some other coding issue. Do you get a JavaScript error in the bottom left hand status bar?

MK

i get know errors at the boottom status bar!

that code works but how do i make it work with the strstatus?

Hi

Do you mean that Response.Write(strstatus) returns "on"?

MK

no it does nothing

There ya go then... You need to find out why, fix it and your notice() script will work

MK

What's this bit for?
