Hi,
I am new to app development however used to program PLSQL many years ago.
I am trying call a simple function from the a button, when action ‘on click’ calls a function.

I have put a function call like this:
example(1,’house’);

and in the xxxx_custom.js file put the code:
function example(a,b) {
number += a;
alert(‘You have chosen: ‘ + b);
}

Nothing happens. Any ideas to kick me along writing functions.
Also can you use the debugger in the xxx_custom.js file?

Thank you
Andrew

Assuming you have declared number as a global variable, the example above should work, although I would have written the button code as:

return example(1,’house’);

And yes – my normal MO is to open the runtime select tools|debugger and watch for the little red crosses in the bottom right hand corner – clicking on the cross locates the error in the appropriate file.

Thanks Stu

I will try it

Hi,
It works well, however when an alert pops up, in BOLD it shows a path
ie: http://v23.mobioneappcenter2.appstot.com

.. then the alert message.

Any way of not showing the path, just the intended message? Happens in both test and web app.

Cheers
Andrew

Only in a native apps can the alert() dialog omit the file location. In a webapp the standard javascript alert() dialog is displayed.

Thank you,

Guess I will have to signup to apple to produce a native app,

Cheers
Andrew
