Extension only works once

lfirth · lfirth

Hi, I have been toying with creating my own extensions and have created a
simple one that creates one line of VBScript code from a single variable. I
have two problems. The first one is that it only will place the code in the
"Body" of the web page. i.e. not between the <% %> ASP tags and two it only
works once. If you try and use it a second time it doesn't work, yet if you
wait for 10 minutes or so, it works again.

As for inserting it the BODY, we'd have to see that code you're using to
perform the insert.

Do you restart DW inbetween it working again? Anyway, please show your
code and we'll get it figured out.

Here is the code

<script language="JavaScript">
function objectTag(form) {

var strformvar="";
var strMethod="";
var strType="";
var strBracketsLeft="";
var strBracketsRight="";

// Selects the value of the form method.
if (document.formvariables.method[0].checked == true){
strmethod = document.formvariables.method[0].value;
}
else {strmethod = document.formvariables.method[1].value;}

// Selects value of the variable type.
if (document.formvariables.StringType[0].checked == true){
strType = document.formvariables.StringType[0].value;
}

else if (document.formvariables.StringType[1].checked == true){
strType = document.formvariables.StringType[1].value;
}

else if (document.formvariables.StringType[2].checked == true){
strType = document.formvariables.StringType[2].value;
}
else {strType = document.formvariables.StringType[3].value;}

// This displays the form field contents.
if (document.formvariables.FormField.value != ""){
strformvar=document.formvariables.FormField.value;
}
else {strformvar='';}

if (document.formvariables[0].Brackets.checked) {
strBracketsLeft="<%";
strBracketsRight="%>";
}

return (strBracketsLeft + ' ' + strType + strformvar + ' = Request.' +
strmethod + '("' + strformvar + '") ' + strBracketsRight);
}

</script>

Playing around a bit, and it seems that when you try to insert outside
of the body without adding in the <% %> delimiters, then it woudln't
insert, but other wise would. If within the body, it would insert with
and without <%%>, but if I tried above the opening <html> or above the
<head>, it wouldn't. I think this is how Objects are made, they "assume"
that anything that doesn't belong outside the body (that is "bare" text
whcih is what is inserted when you don't include the delimters) it tries
to place into the body.

A way around that woudl be to convert it into a Command and then use
dom.insertHTML to place the code into the page.

FWIW: If you want tte < to appear, then you need to use < instead.

One way to do that would be to convert to what i call a Pass through
Object. You can read about it here:

or by reading up on the runCommand API function.
