  1. POProblems outputting Javascript from WebBroker application
    text
    copied!<p>I have a fairly simple web app built with Delphi (2009) Web Broker. I am trying (and failing) to output Javascript to the page.</p> <p>The javascript I need to output is in the body of the page in a <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> tag, and is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt;DateInput('mydatefield', true, 'DD-MM-YYYY');&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>This javascript should create a nice date input control (tested ok in a hand-crafted HTML page). The code in my Delphi app this is:</p> <pre><code>Response.Content := Response.Content + '&lt;script&gt;DateInput(''mydatefield'', true, ''DD-MM-YYYY'');&lt;/script&gt;'; </code></pre> <p>The <em>Script</em> tags are being removed from the final output. </p> <p>As a test I added an HTML button with an <code>onClick</code> event set as follows:</p> <pre><code>Response.Content := Response.Content + '&lt;input type="button" onClick="alert(''Hello World'')" Value="Hello World"/&gt;'; </code></pre> <p>and when the source of the page is inspected </p> <pre><code>alert(''Hello World'') </code></pre> <p>had become </p> <pre><code>alert(&amp;#39;Hello World&amp;#39;) </code></pre> <p>I wondered if this translation of the single quote from ' into <code>&amp;#39</code>; might be causing my earlier script tag to be removed?</p> <p>Any help/pointers appreciated, thanks.</p> <p><em>*</em> EDIT</p> <p>I should point out that the Alert popup does work even with the <code>&amp;#39;</code> characters.</p> <p><em>*</em> EDIT</p> <p>I have tried to use JQuery scripts like $(document).ready( function() { etc }); and it's working, so I guess the problem is not with WebBroker output. Thanks to all who took time to read/think. </p>
