I have a simple function and I am not able to assign the value of Session("PALType") to variable "SesType". I created Session("PALType") from my login page. I can write the Session value to my page using "Response.Write Session("PALType")" in the body of my page successfully. But I cannot assign it's value or use the Session Object itself for use in my If Statement.

Are we allowed to use Session("") and JavaScript together?

I have tried using "", '', and no quotes on either side of Session("PALType") but using '' is the only way that did not produce a error. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Function code is below:

function AdVal()
{

var SesType = 'Session("PALType")';
var AdminVal

//document.writeln(SesType)

if (SesType == "W2")
       {
         //document.writeln(SesType);
         AdminVal = document.frmDeal.AdminFee.value = "W2";
               }
      else
       {
         //document.writeln(SesType);
         AdminVal = document.frmDeal.AdminFee.value = "1099";
           }

return AdminVal;
}

try :


function AdVal()
{
     var SesType = <%=Session("PALType")%>;

     // set the default value
     var AdminVal='1099';

      if (SesType == 'W2')
      {
          AdminVal = document.frmDeal.AdminFee.value = "W2";
      }

      return AdminVal;
}

Thanks for your help.

When I use your code sniplet I get the following error:
"Object Expected"

I am calling this function from the onblur event of a textbox using the following code:
<INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="ProcessingFeeOutside" VALUE="0" onblur="AdVal()">

I'm guessing that you are printing this out from ASP, so try the following instead, replace the line :

var SesType = <%=Session("PALType")%>;

with :

var SesType = '<%=Session("PALType")%>';

You might also fine a Netscape based browser such as Netscape / Firefox helpful as they have a better Javascript Console and Debugger than IE does.

You could also try storing the session variable in a hidden form field and picking it up from there in your JS.

Greg. I get the same "Object Expected" error.

Greg,

So you are saying that if I load Netscape and view my page in their browser I will have better debugging tools?

It would be nice to be able to debug and step through the code.

Thank you all for your help! I started over using a blank page and with everyone's advice I got it to work using the following code:

function AdVal()
{

var SesType = '<%=Session("PALType")%>';
var AdminVal;

if (SesType == "W2")
       {
        AdminVal = document.frmDeal.AdminFee.value = "W2";
               }
      else
       {
         //document.writeln(SesType);
         AdminVal = document.frmDeal.AdminFee.value = "1099";
           }

return AdminVal;
}

These browsers have a much more informative Javascript Console and also use a Javascript debugger - Venkman I think. I find them very useful in that regard, but you need to remember that your JS Code much work in them and not just IE for them to be of any real use.
