After re-reading your message I think I know what you want to know.
It is possible to generate Javascript from Active4D because a4d processes
EVERY Active4D tag before sending out the resulting page. For example in our
online store we have the following line of code
<%
$bDisplayProduct:=true
$l_product_id:=5
%>
<Body ......... <% if ($bDisplayProduct) %>onload="displayProduct(<%
=$l_product_id %>)"<% end if %> >
The output will be:
<Body ......... onload="displayProduct(5)">
displayProduct is a javascript function that is declared elsewhere.
There are a number of times in our site where I generate large chunks of
Javascript from Active4D so I know it works. If you want to see a larger
example of generated Javascript within a script tag then email me privately
and I can get you the link.
