Display message in statusbar from child frame

spacy · November 19th, 2004, 07:47 AM

I have two frames, top & bottom. The bottom frame is further divided into two frames, right & left. In the right frame, i display a html table with data coming from sql (depending on company selected).

My problem is that when i select a particular company, after the entire html table is displayed, an error icon is shown in the status bar with "Done" as the message. There is no problem with table output at all. On double-click of icon, it says "Expected ) "

Is there any way i can display a "Done" message on the status bar so that the error icon is not displayed? I have already tried "window.status" "parent.status" etc. No use!

Please help!!!!!

Cheers..
Spacy.

Why not fix your JavaScript so that the parenthese match?

Where I suggest following Joe's solution, you can just put (I believe):

window.onerror = function(){return true};

Thanks Joe & Snib for the prompt reply.
But my problem is that i have already
tried handling this parentheses problem
through code. I tried replacing the
parentheses coming from sql data with
space. But still i get the same error.
Am not able to figure out where exactly
the problem arises. Is there any way i
can find this out???

Thanks

Cheers

Unfortunately my spider sense is failing me so without seeing an example of code that fails it's difficult to say :)
Can you show the code and describe how it is produced?

hi Joe!

Well..i had forgotten to tackle the parentheses in a
window.open statement. Now i no longer get the error.
But my problem is that am passing this data as a
querystring to another code. The parentheses is crucial
else it wont display the table in the new window.

Here is a part of the code for your reference:
Response.Write("<a href=# onclick=javascript:window.open(frmNextPage.aspx?cu stomer=" & System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(strCustName))>")

strCustName is the string with the parentheses replaced by space.

How do i get the parentheses in the next page? Please reply.

Thanks & Regards,
Spacy.

Ok guys! Used window.error and it seems to have solved the
problem temporarily. Thanks All!

Depends what language you are using as to how to escape quote marks but in C#:

Code:

Response.Write("<a href=#  onclick=\"javascript:window.open('frmNextPage.aspx?customer=" & System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(strCustName)')\">")
