Hi,
I am using Calculated Column from Form and List module, to call a Javascript function (and passing 5 Text column values, as parameters to that function).
Everything works well and javascript gets call if the "Text Values" being passed are Short in length, but if the Text is Too Long, then Javascript call fails.
Above is the only case with browser IE and works well with Firefox and Crome.
Is there any limitation on charachter to be passed to javascript? |

I did some quick checking and testing and passed a string a couple of thousand characters in length to a function with no problem.
Can you attach some code in a file and maybe I can spot something. Or, provide a link to a page that runs it. |

Hi, I have a simple Javascript function which takes input parameter string and displays all those in tabular form. On click of "Details" link the function "CreateFloatingDivCarrier" gets called. Following is the exact values I am passing to it.

Your problem is the " being used inside of the href which is itself enclosed in ". What you'll need to do is change all of the interior delimiters to '. So you will have something that looks like: <a href="javascript:CreateFloatingDivCarrier('Long Term Contract' , '$70,000 /year ' , ... ">Details</a>

Hi, Thanks for your reply. But I am not using double quotes ("), while creating a string to be assigned to Calculated column (Details) Expression field I have written the Expression like: '<a href="javascript:CreateFloatingDivCarrier("'+Type+'" , "' +Salary+' " , "' +Description+' " , "' +Experience+' " , "' +Education+' " , "' +Category+' " , "' +Title+' " , "' +Location+' ");"> Details' Where all the columns passed as Parameter values are TEXT columns and the Details column is a calculated column. Am I wrong in writing this expression? And if yes, why does it works well with FireFox and Chrome |

I have no idea what is going on here, but ... do you know how to use the Developer Tools in IE to debug javascript? I would look to see what actually gets passed to your function. That should give you a clue about what is going wrong. |
