An image is placed with the function "DisplayMedalIcon". I would like to show an alt="data from db" when hovering over the image.
The red part was my guess, but naturally, doesn't do the trick.
quote:
response.write DisplayMedalIcon(myMedalMembers("member_id"))& alt="myMEDALMembers("scenario")" & "</td></tr><tr><td>"
How is that done correctly? |

What does DisplayMedalIcon do ?
And this isn't .Net, it's just plain ASP  |

you probably need to add the alt part to your DisplayMedalIcon function.
That is what I was thinking as well (truely, I did!), but the function has more than a dozen variations, and does not have the variable myMEDALMembers("scenario") available.
I am uploading the txt.file for it: http://www.ggholiday.com/bg/forums/decorated.txt
The "alt=" should should the scenario name and date of issue, from the data base. |

I tried to move the function down below where the varable is introduced, and did this: quote:
if mymedals("medal_ID") = 8 then
DisplayMedalIcon = DisplayMedalIcon & "<img border=""0"" src=""../images/gold.gif"" width=""66"" height=""90"" alt=""myMEDALMembers("scenario")"">"
end if
for each of the medals.
But I get the "expected end of statement" error. |

Try this:
Change the function to this:
Function DisplayMedalIcon(m_id, alttext)
Then add the red to all your statements:
DisplayMedalIcon = DisplayMedalIcon & "<img border=""0"" src=""../images/gold.gif"" width=""66"" height=""90"" alt="""&alttext&""">"
Then call the function like this:
DisplayMedalIcon(myMedalMembers("member_id"), myMEDALMembers("scenario"))

Except that I miscoded this line now: quote:
[response.write DisplayMedalIcon(myMedalMembers("member_id"), myMEDALMembers("scenario"), myMedalMembers("medal_date"))
error: quote:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01C2)

I just mean that you've posted in the .Net forum, but you're not talking about .Net, just classic ASP

snaayk has redefined your code to accept 2 arguments, now with this code :
quote:
response.write DisplayMedalIcon(myMedalMembers("member_id"), myMEDALMembers("scenario"), myMedalMembers("medal_date"))
you are providing 3 arguments, so you get that error. |

Does this not define three definitions?quote:
if mymedals("medal_ID") = 8 then
DisplayMedalIcon = DisplayMedalIcon & "<img border=""0"" src=""../images/gold.gif"" width=""66"" height=""90"" alt="""&myMedalMembers("scenario") & myMedaLMembers("Medal_date") & """>"
end if
or do you mean this line? quote:
Function DisplayMedalIcon(m_id, alttext, (myMedalMembers("Medal_date"))
In any event, I updated the txt file: http://www.ggholiday.com/bg/forums/decorated.txt |

| No definitions there, just an IF (conditional) about medal #8. But in that code what is the difference between myMedalMembers and myMedal_Members ? |

I only see "myMedalMembers", Laser.
It comes from a select statement:
quote:
strSql = "SELECT MEMBER_MEDALS.MEMBER_ID, MEMBER_MEDALS.MEDAL_ID, MEMBER_MEDALS.SCENARIO, MEMBER_MEDALS.MEDAL_DATE, FORUM_MEMBERS.M_NAME, FORUM_MEMBERS.M_COUNTRY FROM FORUM_MEMBERS INNER JOIN MEMBER_MEDALS ON FORUM_MEMBERS.MEMBER_ID = MEMBER_MEDALS.MEMBER_ID order by M_NAME ASC;"
set myMEDALMembers = my_Conn.Execute(strSql)
I think you misread the capitalized L as a _ ? |

I can't believe it, I made a wild guess, and it works! quote:
Function DisplayMedalIcon(m_id, alttext, altdate)

Alfred, a quick lesson in Functions ...
snaayk's code works well, changing the function definition to have 2 arguments. Arguments are always separated by commas, so you get :
Function DisplayMedalIcon(m_id, alttext)
m_id and alttext are what the 2 arguments will be called within the function.
With line 106 you are Response writing the result of the function:
response.write DisplayMedalIcon(myMedalMembers("member_id"), myMEDALMembers("scenario"), myMedalMembers("medal_date"))
111111111111111111111111111 2222222222222222222222222 3333333333333333333333333333
So you're trying to pass 3 arguments : ID, scenario and date.
Now if you want 3 arguments, it's easy - change the Function definition line, then reference the argument within the function. |
