Ok.... so i have a recordset with links in which I am building an HTML
string for display in an HTML field. Now for some reason the html traces
out fine, but when assigned to an html txt field - the filed just shows
as blank.
Now I do realize that the "eq" in this code sample is depreciated,
however that is on another thread (as the "==" gave weird results). And
I do realize that my if statements are backwards as I check for equality
and do nothing until the else statement, but again, I was getting weird
results (I was trying to test for an empty field from a database return
- through amfphp - this seemed to be the only way I could get it to work
- and I hate that it is not proper code).
Anyways - onto the code.
function handleGetLinks(re:ResultEvent)
{
this._DB = re.result;
// initialize the last record count
this._lastRecord = (this._DB.length - 1);
//for (var i = this._currentRecord; i <= this._lastRecord; i++)
var myHtml:String = "";
for (var i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
{
var myLinker1 = this._DB.getItemAt(i).link01;
var myLinker2 = this._DB.getItemAt(i).link02;
var myLinker3 = this._DB.getItemAt(i).link03;
var myLinker4 = this._DB.getItemAt(i).link04;
var myLinker5 = this._DB.getItemAt(i).link05;
if ((myLinker1 eq "") || (myLinker1 eq undefined))
{
}
else
{
myHtml += "<a href=\"" + myLinker1 + "\"
target=\"_blank\">" + myLinker1 + "</a><br>";
}
if ((myLinker2 eq "") || (myLinker2 eq undefined))
{
}
else
{
myHtml += "<a href=\"" + myLinker2 + "\"
target=\"_blank\">" + myLinker2 + "</a><br>";
}
if ((myLinker3 eq "") || (myLinker1 eq undefined))
{
}
else
{
myHtml += "<a href=\"" + myLinker3 + "\"
target=\"_blank\">" + myLinker3 + "</a><br>";
}
if ((myLinker4 eq "") || (myLinker1 eq undefined))
{
}
else
{
myHtml += "<a href=\"" + myLinker4 + "\"
target=\"_blank\">" + myLinker4 + "</a><br>";
}
if ((myLinker5 eq "") || (myLinker1 eq undefined))
{
}
else
{
myHtml += "<a href=\"" + myLinker5 + "\"
target=\"_blank\">" + myLinker5 + "</a><br>";
}
}
if ((myHtml eq "") || (myHtml eq undefined) || (myHtml eq null))
{
trace("it is empty");
} else {
trace(myHtml);
this._targetMc.collectiveLinks.html = true;
this._targetMc.collectiveLinks.htmlText = myHtml;
}
this._targetMc.collectiveLinks.htmlText = myHtml;
}
Now to me what I "thought" should have been the proper way to test would
have been:
if ((myLinker1 != "") || (myLinker1 != undefined) || (myLinker1 != null))
{
myHtml += "<a href=\"" + myLinker1 + "\" target=\"_blank\">" + myLinker1
+ "</a><br>";
}
but then the trace of my results does not even work (it includes the
records that are empty).
And to top it off - no matter what my text field does not have the HTML
loaded into it.
It seems like something like this should be so simple.
