Question

Hey all, i have been trying for a few minutes on this problem and i can not seem to figure out how to correct it. I tend to have the hardest time doing stuff like this when it involves more than one varable within the function.

Here is the code:

  var tempString = "thePrompt('Are you sure you wish to delete this?', 'theDel('" + IDnum + "', '" + theTitle + "', \'" + temperDay + "\', \'" + temperMonth + "\', \'" + temperYear + "\', \'" + DDiff + "\')";

 html +=
"<div id='theTable" + IDnum + "' class='fc-event fc-event-hori fc-corner-left fc-corner-right' style='position:absolute; margin-top: 15px; z-index:8;left:"+left+"px'><div id='apDEL' style='position:relative;width:0px;height:0px;z-index:1000; top:-13px; left:2px; float:left;'><img src='img/xCal.png' width='15' height='15' alt='' border='0' onclick=\"" + tempString + "\" /></div>" + (ETC ETC...)

The error i keep getting is this:

 Error: missing ) after argument list
 Line: 1, Column: 68
 Source Code:
 thePrompt('Are you sure you wish to delete this posting?', 'theDel('105', '50 points for visiting us today!!!!', '13', '3', '2010', '2')

And its pointing to the ‘105’.

As always, any help would be wonderful! :o)

EDIT/UPDATE

Ok, so now i have moved some things around and i got it working (that is sending the values to the popup prompt box BUT for some reason it doesn’t see my function after i hit the delete button! This is because the prompt is on the main page and the code i am working with is inside a iframe.

function theDel(theID, theTitle, day, month, year, DDiff)
{
    var tempString = "delClientE(" + theID + ", '" + theTitle + "', " + day + ", " + month + ", " + year + ", " + DDiff + ")";
    parent.thePrompt('Are you sure you wish to delete this event?', tempString);
}

The delete button values now look like this:

delClientE(110, 'sadfsadfsdf', 14, 3, 2010, 2); jQuery.prompt.close();

However, even putting parent.delClientE doesnt find the function either… How can i call it from within the iframe when the prompt box is outside of that?

Answer 1

I finally got it!! YAY! :o)

 function theDel(theID, theTitle, day, month, year, DDiff)
{
    var tempString = "window.frames.theCal.delClientE(" + theID + ", '" + theTitle + "', " + day + ", " + month + ", " + year + ", " + DDiff + ")";
    parent.thePrompt('Are you sure you wish to delete this event?', tempString);
}

I needed the window.frames.theCal in order to call my function. theCal is my iframe id.
