Re: Converting JS string to var

You can do this:

var jsnote='<%=(m.notes)%>'

writeText('notes', jsnote, 400, 200, true, false);

...or this:

writeText('notes', '<%=(m.notes)%>', 400, 200, true, false);

I have the following javascript that only uses a hard string in the second position:

writeText('notes', 'Some Text', 400, 200, true, false);

What I need to do is to place a foxpro variable in the second position such as:

var jsnote=<%=(m.notes)%>

writeText('notes', jsnote, 400, 200, true, false);

I have used, to no avail:

writeText('notes', jsnote, 400, 200, true, false);

writeText('notes', 'jsnote', 400, 200, true, false);

writeText('notes', <%=EVAL(=(m.notes)%>, 400, 200, true, false);

And most everything else I can think of. The only thing That works is

writeText('notes', 'Some Text', 400, 200, true, false);

How do I put a foxpro variable in a JS call in the second position so that it is properly passed to a JS function please?
