Ken,

I'm still not completely following the issue here and it is tough to
recreate. Nonetheless, have you tried tripling up the single quotes or
looking at the source to see what is being returned?

Here's the tripling I'm talking about:

      put '<td><select name="permit" onChange="return sg_onchange('
"&session" ',''' supergroup ''','"&userid" ',0)">';

Well, it is going stand-alone from the web page to the javascript based on
the onchange event, other than needing the macro variables and the one text
variable out of the data step.  However, the onchange already uses double
quotes (e.g. onchange="return sg_onchange(...)" )  So if I try submitting
with double quotes around my parameter (or without them around the function
call) it seems to lose itself.

I'll check out the SASEncase and whether the sysadmins will allow it on the
production server (since they're a bit touchy about things like that.)

Thanks

Ken,

Do you have it working standalone without going through SAS?

I would use the tool on my site called SASEncase. That will handle the
quoting for you (and make your life easier). If it works standalone, then
double quoting things should be fine.

Subject: SAS/Intrnet - Javascript not playing nicely

G'day all,



I'm trying to figure out how to get SAS/Intrnet and Javascript to play nice
together.  Below I have the start of my data step that generates part of my
webpage and calls a javascript function.  The problem here is that the
variable supergroup is text and when I change my select box, invoking the
sg_onchange function, javascript expects it to be in single quotes.  (I've
tried doing it in single and double quotes next to the commas, both by
themselves and using all the javascript escape sequences, but javascript
always complains about invalid characters.
I've also tried %nrstr to put in the single quotes but it doesn't like that
either.  Does anyone know of a way to get this to work correctly?

Thanks,

Ken





data _null_;

  set supergroups;

  file _webout;

    if access = 'Y' then do;

      put '<tr>';

      put '<td><select name="permit"

           onChange="return sg_onchange(' "&session" ',' supergroup ','
"&userid" ',0)">';

      put '<option value="N' supergroup '">No </option>';

      put '<option value="Y' supergroup '" selected>Yes</option>';

      put '</select>';



&userid evaluates as numeric.  &session is text, but I add on the single
quotes in a previous call symput. So it's just supergroup that I need to
have evaluate dynamically.
