How to pass a string variable from SB to inline JS

[the.weavster]

Is it possible to pass a string variable from SB to inline JS?
If so would somebody be kind enough to show me how it's done?

[Peter]

Code: Select all

Define myString.s = "World!"

!alert("Hello " + v_myString);

Thanks, Peter.

Any idea how to make this work?

Code: Select all

Procedure.s SayHello(myString.s)
  !return "Hello " + v_myString;
EndProcedure

Debug SayHello("Peter")

this doesn't work at the moment due to this bug: http://forums.spiderbasic.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=38

Thanks again, Peter.

Why is it necessary to prefix the variable name with 'v_' in the JavaScript code?

[Foz]

because it's internal "compiled" code that you shouldn't be looking at?

I'm guessing to ensure that there isn't a conflict of variable names between all the javascript libraries and your code, so all variables are prefixed with "v_".
