Help needed with this Javascript code

J

John

Hi all,
Can anyone help with this please?
Firstly, here is the code....

<script type="text/javascript">
var b = Request.QueryString("page")+".htm";
var a='"';
var productstoshow=a+b+a;
document.getElementById('productlist').src=productstoshow;
document.frames['productlist'].location.reload(true);
</script>

The variable 'productstoshow' contains the full name of a web page as well as the quotes.....eg
"test.htm"
I have an iFrame called 'productlist'

What the last two lines of code is suppose to do is change the 'src=' value of the iFrame, and
reload it containing the new htm page but it doesn't.
I have searched for and tried other variations but none work.
Any ideas anyone?
TIA.

There's no function in your script.
You need to create a function and then use some event to "Fire" the function,
and then you need to wrap the instructions for the function to perform in curly braces {}

<script type="text/javascript">
function dothis(){
var b = Request.QueryString("page")+".htm";
var a='"';
var productstoshow=a+b+a;
document.getElementById('productlist').src=productstoshow;
document.frames['productlist'].location.reload(true);
}
</script>

Then somewhere in your page you need to fire the function

<body onload="dothis()">

Or by using an onclick in some clickable element in the page

onclick="dothis()"

In addition,
Change
var b = Request.QueryString("page")+".htm";
var a='"';
var productstoshow=a+b+a;

to
var productstoshow = Request.QueryString("page")+".htm";

Quotes are only needed to delimit text, not string variables - your exiting
script is trying to load a page that has quotes as part of the filename.

ASP is not supported in JavaScript w/o VBscript delimiters
the ASP request should be processed before the JavaScript and then the JavaScript can use the variable created by it
