Question

I am calling a list of records from my sql database then I write them to a dynamic table. During this I have a variable(CountRecord) that increments every time I add a new element to the table. I was wondering if it was possible to call CountRecord from my .js file and change my

$("#SubFirst").animate({height:525},"slow");

to something like

$("#SubFirst").animate({height:"<%=CountRecord%>*30px"},"slow");

I am guessing that the variable doesn’t cross over different files. So I don’t even know if this is possible. If anyone knows of a different way to do this I am willing to give it a shot.

Answer 1

If you’re updating your count variable server side, then your approach is correct, all for one small syntax error.

var heightToSet = "<%=CountRecord %>" * 30; 
$("#SubFirst").animate({height: heightToSet + "px"},"slow");

EDIT

Answer in here for clarity,

I believe the offending line should be

<a onclick=" <%dim NumClicked=0 dim CountRecord =20 if NumClicked =0 then%> 
$('#SubFirst').animate({height:'<%=CountRecord%>'*30 + 'px'},'slow'); 
<%NumClicked=NumClicked+1 else %>$('#SubFirst').animate({height:525px},'slow'); 
<%NumClicked=0 end if%>" id="first" overflow: "hidden">People</a>
