asp array

[-D-]

I have a recordset value that is within a Do While Loop: <input name='fieldA'
type='hidden' id='fieldA'
value='<%=(rsAllocation.Fields.Item('ABR_DETLS_ID' ).Value)%>'> Every iteration
of the loop holds another value. So, if the loop executed 5 times, then I have
5 hidden fields with different values from the resultset. I want to capture
the all the values into an array and then pass the array as an argument into a
javascript function. I've had no difficulty passing in arguments that hold one
value, but I'm not sure how to handle multiple values? I have a variable that
I set as the counter for the Do While loop, so the loop counter variable holds
the number of loops that were executed. Creating my array as follows, would
this hold all the hidden field values from the resultset: Dim
myArray(loopCounter) Dim i For i = 0 to loopCounter myArray(i) =
rsAllocation.Fields.Item('ABR_DETLS_ID').Value Next then I want to pass in the
array as an argument to a javascript function: onClick='return
CheckForm='<%=myArray()%>' Should the array then hold the hidden field values
in a one dimensional comma delimited list? I can then split the values out
from the list and then use them in the function? Thanks, -D-

I know to pass arrays between javascript and VBScript, you have to pack it
into a string, pass it, then upack it. For VBScript it's easy:
myString = Join(myArray,", ")
myArray = Split(myString,", ")

I don't know how to join or split an array in javascript, but I bet a Google
search on "Javascript array from string" or "Javascript split string" or
something will get you someone who does.

the same more or less:

myString = myArray.join();

myArray = myString.split(",");

Hi CM, Thanks for your help and Manuels. Okay, if I understand correctly, I
can get get all the values from the resultset by creating my array like the
following: Dim myArray(loopCounter) Dim i For i = 0 to loopCounter myArray(i)
= rsAllocation.Fields.Item('ABR_DETLS_ID').Value Next That should populate the
array with every value for the recordset value 'ABR_DETLS_ID, yes? Then I need
to create a string in VBScript from the array? myString = Join(myArray,', ')
At that point, I can pass the string into the Javascript function:
onClick='return CheckForm='<%=myString%>' Finally, in the Javascript function,
I need to unpack it using the Javascript method: myArray =
myString.split(','); Is that correct? Thanks again! -D-

Got it in one!
Don't you love how complicated things can get?
