Re: CGI, Javascript and Single Quotes

Hmmmm. I don't see the problem ... the following sample code seems to work for me:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard :html3/;
print header;
my $test_button = button(-name=>'Test',-value=>'Test Val',-onClick=>"r
+eturn test('Testing!');");
print start_html();
print <<JAVASCRIPT;
<script>
function test (message) {
    alert(message);
}
</script>
JAVASCRIPT
print startform();
print $test_button;
print endform();
print end_html();

I tried this. The only difference is that instead of prints I used `result .= $test_button;` I still get the incorrect results.	[reply] [d/l]

It seems likely to me that there is some simple problem that you (and we) are overlooking. Please post a concise (yet complete) example of your code and clearly identify the result that you are seeing (and what you want to happen). If this problem strays very far into Javascript issues, you may be better off getting help elsewhere, although many monks do know quite a bit about Javascript. While we're on that topic, what browser (version) are you using to run your code, and on what platform?	[reply]
