Please edit your question and use the proper pre-tags and remove the rogue items such as "Copy Code" - it is impossible to tell what you actually put into the tool

<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location='"'"'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM='CCNUM"'"'">Upload Image</button> ';

Try escaping the single quotes

document.write('<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location=\'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM=C0000582 \'">Upload Image</button> ')

Don't do it like this, it's not readable. Do it like I show in the comment, simply escape the two single quotes for location parameter in the string with backslash, e.g.: "\' any text\'"

This is a follow on question from the existing one you raised here[^]. I already told you how to fix your issue, you didn't need to raise a second question.

Member 12183079 13-Jul-22 10:54am

you did not reply in proper way as I asked

I gave you all of the information needed for you to work out what the issue is yourself. CodeProject is not a code providing service, we won't code everything for you. Already in this question you've been provided a direct answer and are now asking why it's not working in your application and expecting to be provided code that will work; that's up to you to figure out.

As a developer you need to learn to use logic and reasoning when creating code, see where it fits in your application and if it doesn't work, use development/debugging tools to inspect why. Look at your console window in the browser and see if you get any errors. In this example, if your button isn't visible then where did you put the button in the page HTML structure? Did you put it in the correct place?

Solution 1

You need to escape the single quotes in your output string.

Example:

document.write('There\'s an escaped single quote in that text');

More info about js strings and escaping you find here: How to Escape Quotes in a String using JavaScript | bobbyhadz[^]

[Edit]
Final example with text in the question (tested and it works):

document.write('<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location=\'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM=C0000582\'">Upload Image</button> ')

There are two single quotes which you need to escape:

\'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM=C0000582\'

Could you please write code-

<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location='"'"'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM='CCNUM"'"'">Upload Image</button> ';

See my updated answer.
If that is fixed, I assume you will have then the next problem, that a browser does block this because of security ;)

Member 12183079 13-Jul-22 10:14am

not working

please check in this code-

<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location='"'"'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM='CCNUM"'"'">Upload Image</button> ';

0x01AA 13-Jul-22 10:20am

What means 'not working'?
Still the same error message "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment"?
With what you surround the whole string? I hope with single quotes...

Just recognized while writing.... now you miss a double quote... please concentrate more ;)


<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location=\'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM=C0000582\'">Upload Image</button>

0x01AA 13-Jul-22 10:22am

Ooooh sh*t, looks like CP does reformat then and when and replaces escaped quotes....?

Member 12183079 13-Jul-22 10:52am

I tried when I put this code in my sas application then my upload image is going to invisible

<button style="width:100;height:20" onClick="window.location=\'/scripts/broker.exe?_program=websas.COMPLAINTS_input6.sas&_debug=0&CCNUM=C0000582\'">Upload Image</button>

so please check and type

But at least the syntax error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment" disappeared.
Now, why your image is not visible is another story which is nearly impossible to help on with the current information
