Pass an array to javascript

[ruca]

Hi,

How can I pass an array string to javascript?

I have this:

in ASP.NET VB code:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim siteName(100) As String
Dim siteLink(100) As String
Dim i As Integer

siteName(0) = "New JavaScripts"
siteName(1) = "Item 2"
siteName(2) = "Item 3"
siteName(3) = "Item 4"
siteName(4) = "Item 5"
siteName(5) = "Item 6"
siteLink(0) = "link1"
siteLink(1) = "link2"
siteLink(2) = "link3"
siteLink(3) = "link4"
siteLink(4) = "link5"
siteLink(5) = "link6"

Dim sbScript As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sbScript.Append("<script language='javascript'>")
sbScript.Append(Environment.NewLine)
sbScript.Append("createMenu('siteName','siteLink');")
sbScript.Append(Environment.NewLine)
sbScript.Append("</script>")
RegisterStartupScript("OpenMenu", sbScript.ToString())
--------------------------------------------------------------------

in HTML code I have this (at javascript, of course):

function createMenu(siteName, siteLink)
{
for (i = 0; i <= siteName.length - 1; i++)
document.write('<a href=' + siteLink + '>' + siteName + '</a><br>');
}

I'm just learning this stuff but I'll take a shot. The VB code is
executing on the server and the javascript on the browser. You would
need to pass the information back through something they both have in
common. Perhaps the Document object?

Where you have:

sbScript.Append("createMenu('siteName','siteLink');")

You could do:

sbScript.Append("createMenu(new
Array('Item1','Item2','Item3'),'siteLink');")

Hello ruca,

Look at Page.RegisterArrayDeclaration...

 

[Bruce Barker]

a quick look at the docs would reveal Page.RegisterArrayDeclaration which
has sample code.
