Calling Javascript

Hi,

I know there are a couple of posts on this forum related to this subject, however, I am still unable to get this to work.

Please can somebody tell me which section to use and the syntax of the call.

Many Thanks

Regards

Andy

Below is the source of a page that calls the Javascript in bold and works fine. If I use the same following syntax in my menu structure:

,"Find","javascript:Twa_uwin_function(\"Search\")",,,0

Then I get the error "No function for upper window mode 'search' defined!

However, when hovering over both links the same syntax is diaplayed in the prompt bar.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

You can add your own status line: here's a sample

Code:

,"Find","javascript:Twa_uwin_function(\"Search\")",,"Status Line",0

This actually sounds like a problem with your function, are you sure it works properly.

Cheers

Well..if I insert the code in the header frame as standard HTML (same as menu) then it calls the script correctly, so I am not sure why it fails in the menu.

Incedently, is there a page that describes all of the parameters and thier locations?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Kind Regards

Andy

I have inserted a menu in my body frame and am able to call the Javascript correctly from here, but when I attempt to call from the sub-menu which opens in the body frame then I still get the error.

Is there a target parameter? If so, do you think that this solve my problem?
