Question

I am facing a problem while calling processRequest function from javascript. I need two ProcessRequest function with different signature. Like:

processRequest();
processRequest(strFieldName);

But the prob is when I write the second function and call the first function like:

httpRequest.onreadystatechange = processRequest ;

It gives a error 'req' undefined. But after commenting out the 2nd function the 1st function works well. Even if I put ( ) while calling the 1st function it shows type mismatch error. But in anyway the 2nd function works.

How to overcome this problem?

Answer 1

get rid of processRequest();

inside processRequest(strFieldName) have code such as:

if(strFieldName){
   ...code that needs parameter
}
else {
   ..code that doesn't need parameter
}
