document write problem

[swiss-imp]

document.write('<div class="tool"><A href="javascript:openWnd(\'http://domain.com/url?' + friendlink + '\', \'Email\', 580, 480, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0)" class="tools">Send a Friend</a></div>');

This ‘document write’ (loaded from an external .js file) works in IE6 but not in the newer browsers. What’s wrong with the escape of the quotation marks?

You missed one.

document.write('<div class="tool"><A href="javascript:openWnd(\'http://domain.com/url?\' + friendlink + '\', \'Email\', 580, 480, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0)" class="tools">Send a Friend</a></div>');

This was intentionally as it is the 'end sign' of the first text block.

Document write is working now (I have defined the variable 'friendlink' globally in an other script - this works in older browsers but not in the new one)

However, still have the problem that the function openWnd(); does not execute when clicked. (works also in old browsers)


TEXT BLOCK 1: <div class="tool"><A href="javascriptpenWnd(\'http://domain.com/url?

VARIABLE: friendlink

TEXT BLOCK 2: \', \'Email\', 580, 480, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0)" class="tools">Send a Friend</a></div>

the problem has been resolved!! sorry, my fault.. I have mistakely placed the external script with the function "openWnd" and the setting of the global variable between an existing IF statement (<!--[if lt IE 7]>) in the header.

Clearly, it has worked only in the old browser... :-)

Thanks Gil
