document.getElementById() problem

[helloise]

i have this line of code:

     <a href="#" id="profilelink" name="profilelink" value="<?php echo $id."/".$block_record;?>" onClick="return viewornot(<?php echo $id; ?>)"><?php echo $uniqueCode; ?></a>

so with the onclick i want to pass the id concatenated with a blocked id to my JS:

    function viewornot()
    {
        var val = document.getElementById('profilelink');
        var e = confirm('Do you want to view this profile?');
     
        if (e == true)
        { 
           //for live site
           window.location.href = "http://www.rainbowcode.net/index.php/profiles/showprofilepersonal?id="+id;
           return true;
        }
        else
        {
            //if val contains a 1 then user is blocked
            //display a message then
        }
        return false
    }      

 

the line: var val = document.getElementById('profilelink'); is not giving me what i want

it should contain the user id concatenated with a 1(blocked) or 0(not blocked)

($id."/".$blocked_user)

 

can someone help me please?

thank you

document.getElementById() returns the DOM object for the element, not the value. You need to use the .value property to get the value, which in your code can be done like:

 

var val = document.getElementById('profilelink').value;
