stupid javascript

Posted 10 December 2002 - 10:04 AM

ok, i have an image being randomly generated through asp. i then pass the image path and alt to javascript like so:

var imgPath = <%=objRS("path")%>;
var imgAlt = <%=objRS("alt")%>;

and that comes out fine. but the second thing i want to do is to adjust the image size based on window size, so i have a pre-written width detector thing. so THEN I do this:

var imgPath = <%=objRS("path")%>;
var imgAlt = <%=objRS("alt")%>;
if (Width <= 1000) {
	document.write("<img src='/images/level1/" + imgPath + "' vspace='20' alt='" + imgAlt + "' width='760'>");
	}
else {
	document.write("<img src='/images/level1/" + imgPath + "' vspace='20' alt='" + imgAlt + "' width='975'>");
	}


but no image shows. what am i doing wrong?
the image path and alt are coming through correctly, but the image tag isn't working.

:)

what's with the 'Width <= 1000'? What does it mean?

the Width was coming from another script which determines the width of the browser window, so if the browser window was smaller I wanted the image to be smaller...

believe it or not, I fixed the problem by simply moving everything out of the head and into the body... stupid javascript...

I believe the problem may have been that you were trying to document.write in the <head>.

no, I wasn't document.write-ing in the head... the snippet I showed above was always in the body... but the part that determined the width and height of the window was in the head... must have been a variable scope thing, having it defined in the head and then using it in the body... I moved all the head stuff to the body and now it works!

(I hate javascript. Was there ever a more finicky "language"?)
