You have to quote the variable in the html you print..

 

 

$testvar = 'www.google.com'; 

Print qq|<input type="button" value = "callsite"
onclick="popwindow('$testvar');"> |; 

  

The jsp function is as follows: 


function popwindow(v){ 

        newwindow=window.open(url,'test','height=400,width=200'); 
        if(window.focus){newwindow.focus()} 
}

Subject: Fw: cgi-perl: embedding javascript in cgi-perl

 

Hi everyone, 

  

I've been trying to put a button in my perl-cgi program which when
clicked calls a javascript function. 

  

I need to send a previously initialized perl variable to the javascript
function as an argument. But, when I try to pass the parameter to the
jsp function, the function is not called properly. 

  

Here's a snippet of my code: 

  

$testvar = 'www.google.com'; 

print("<input type=button value = 'callsite' 
onclick='popwindow($testvar);'> "); 

  

The jsp function is as follows: 


function popwindow(v){ 

        newwindow=window.open(url,'test','height=400,width=200'); 
        if(window.focus){newwindow.focus()} 
} 

  

So, how do I pass a perl variable into a jsp function? 

  

Any help would be appreciated. 

  

thanks
