triggering a db function

Hi Imar

thanks for that - I've been debugging my update page which the code should call and that's now working correctly - there were a couple of errors.

However, I'm still not getting it to call the update page from the onClick function - when you say put the debugger before the line with the get call how would you do that - i.e what code would you use for the debugger?

thanks

Not *the debugger*, but just the word debugger. E.g.:

Code:

 <script type="text/javascript">
    function Update(id) {
      debugger
      $.get("Test.aspx", { id: id });
    }
  </script>

This triggers *the* debugger so you can look at the id variable and see if Update gets called at all. As an alternative to debugger, you can also add a simple alert('Called'); statement there. Also, you may want to look at Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see if the update page gets called at all.

Cheers,

Imar

I think you've cracked it!!!

Not sure why but when I put this in like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function Update(id) {
debugger
$.get("customer_update.asp", { id: id });
}
</script>

it works?!?

Anyway I think/hope I can take it from here now you've done all the hard work - thanks so much Imar.

Most grateful.

all the best

You mean the update page is now called? That's odd; debugger should just trigger the debugger, and not change any behavior....

Indeed, it is very odd - anyway I'm going to leave it for now and tackle it again in the morning - thanks very much.
