Calling MM_showHideLayers from VBScript

Report · Dec 02, 2006

I am trying to call the MM_ShowhideLayers function from a VBScript that is evaluating a database and then showing and hiding regions bases on the a dynamic value. I am using #Setting1, #Setting2, etc. in my linked CSS file. Since I am not familiar with Javascripting, I was trying to have VB Script that is looping through all of the corrisponding settings in the file and then setting per values. The M_ShowhideLayers function evaluates the args passed. VB is having issues with this when trying to pass the values. Can someone provide some help. There is probably an easy way to do from vbscript, but I am still learning. :)

Here is the sample VB code:

While NOT rec_reservedbooths.EOF
If rec_reservedbooths.status = "R" Then
Call MM_showHideLayers("Booth" & rec_reservedbooths.Fields.Item("boothid").Value,"","show")
Else
Call MM_showHideLayers("Booth" & rec_reservedbooths.Fields.Item("boothid").Value,"","hide")
End If
rec_reservedbooths.MoveNext()
WEnd

Thanks,

David

do you mean the function generated by the client behavior show-hide
layers? if it's what you're trying to do, simply you can't. the function
is client-side JS executed in the browser while your VBScript code
executes at the server before the page is sended to the browser

just put the HTML code corresponding to the layer inside the If sending
it with a Response.write:

If rec_reservedbooths.status = "R" Then
Response.write "<div>"
...
End If

In my code, I have <div> tag linked to a CSS style. So, how would you change the CSS property in vbscript? I appologize, but I am still learning.

<div id="booth129"></div> is tied to #booth129 in the CSS file.

With this said, how would you change the visiblility value at runtime for the rulue definitions of #booth129 via vbscript?

Thanks,

David

Try something like

<%
While NOT rec_reservedbooths.EOF
If rec_reservedbooths.status = "R" Then
%>
do something here
<%
End If
rec_reservedbooths.MoveNext()
WEnd
%>
