Re: AJAX-Calling JavaScript function

Question

Hello!
So i've been reading abt AJAX and i'm trying it out now. I have a problem or two.
Take a look @ this scenario plz.
I have a Page HTML header with the the following script
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function setFocus(PageItem) {
document.getElementById(PageItem).focus();
function validateLogin(User,Pwd) {
alert("Here Now.");
if (document.getElementById(User).value == "") {
alert("Login ID must have a value provided.");
document.getElementById(User).focus();
else if (document.getElementById(Pwd).value == "") {
alert("Password must have a value provided.");
document.getElementById(Pwd).focus();
document.getElementById(Pwd).select();
else {
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
</script>
I have a button which is supposed to call the validateLogin function . In its' Optional URL Redirect, ive set Target=URL
and URL Target as
javascript:validateLogin('P4_USERNAME','P4_PASSWORD);
however when i run the page and try to press the button, i get "Error on page" at the bottom left hand corner of my browser.
Also, u notice i put an alert
alert("Here Now.");
just @ the beginning of the function to see if the function is actually called but the alert didn't even get displayed.
Am i calling my function wrongly. Hope i've explained the scenario ok. Any ideas on this plz.
big thnx

Hello,
You're missing a quote at the end of 'P4_PASSWORD.... So try
javascript:validateLogin('P4_USERNAME','P4_PASSWORD');
