Urgentttt!!!!!!

I am using TS 6.7.1 version on Solaris server. On the forms publisher development guide, it says, iw_cscript tags for Javascript can't be used in PT (unless it is Windows-hosted TS server). So how do I accomplish "onmouseover()" javascript function with perl? Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

You can execute Perl scripts from the DC Form JS, mechanisms are CGI Callouts and FormAPI callServer Function. However,
it is not possible to call DC Form's javascript from Presentation Template Perl, iw_cscript or not. See some discussion [thread=21560]here[/thread].

so would perl be an ideal way to accomplish mouseover efffect that js provides in PT?

here is my situation: i have a navigation pane say like devNet's with :
www support education and so on.

So when the cursor goes to say "www" tab, the sublinks should showo up on each of the tabs!

Forget about PT for a while. Start with well-designed Pages.

Abstract out JS Functions you need into dedicated JS Library. Design Page(s) with just function calls on
certain Events like 'mouseover'. Test it, make sure it all works together. After that code your template
that should generate mark-up components together with corresponding *onEvent* attributes.

As mentioned in the thread I've referenced, you can not call JS from the PT. You certainly can generate
JS components into your Pages. This JS will then be executed by Client's browser when the Page is requested/rendered, etc.

hey in PT i have a script tag with a simple JS function. and in the body, when I call the function, it works! so i assigned function to mouseover and it is working! but this is in Windows server. Was wondering if it will work on a Solaris 10 server?

Javascript functionality is dependent upon the browser not the OS, though it is certainly possible to code something that will only work on one OS or another, it is less likely to be an issue with javascript code.
