Emulating link actions with JavaScript

[turbov21]

I'm not sure if there's an automated way to do this, as I just started playing with it, but I've figured out how to submit data with an HTML button the same way you would with a LINK command.


x = 0

[start]

cls

titlebar "count: "+str$(x)

html "<h1>" + str$(x) + "</h1>"

link #link, "Add 1", [addone]
print ""
link #link, "Add 2", [addtwo]
print ""

html "<hr/>"

html "<input type=""button"" value=""Add 1"" onclick=""AddOne();""/>"
html "<script type=""text/javascript"">"
html "function AddOne() { "
html " var x = document.getElementsByTagName(""form"")[0].name;"
html " submitFormTriggeringCallback(x, '1', ""href"" );"
html " return false;"
html " }"
html "</script>"

wait

[addone]
x = x + 1
goto [start]

[addtwo]
x = x + 2
goto [start]


submitFormTriggeringCallback is the JavaScript subroutine. I've got to dig into the internals a bit more, but I thought this proof of concept would pretty interesting.

hello,

when i run this code, the links work fine, but when I click the button, it takes me to the rb preferences screen.

Hmm. I'll have to look at that. Thanks for the info.
