Re: accessing javascript variables in HTML

Hi,

Hello,

I have a HTML page, which loads an activeX control in the browser.
In the <HEAD> section, I have javascript similar to the following,

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var Index = "";
// do some processing which sets a value to variable Index
</SCRIPT>

In the <BODY> section, I am downloading the cab file, which is an
activeX control, so the code is,

<BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"..........>
<OBJECT ID="objID" CLASSID=...."CODEBASE="..>
<param name="name" value=..>.

</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

In the param name=value pair, I want to assign the variable Index to
value. Just by doing value=Page, it does not work. Could someone
suggest how I can access javascript variable here?

Thankyou.

HTML is a static language, so it cannot access JavaScript variables. It
has to go the other way round, with JavaScript setting the HTML value.
Thankfully, with DOM Level 2 it has become much easier to do this kind
of things.

My suggestion is to set an ID on your PARAM node, and then use
document.getElementById to get it.

<param name="name" id="name" value="...">

Note that the ID must be unique throughout the whole HTML document.

Then:

var nParam = document.getElementById( "name" );
if ( nParam != null )
{
nParam.setAttribute( "value", Index );
}

Laurent
