[SOLVED] Multiple javascript commands

[mike1313]

Is it all all possible to get both the CloseMessage(); and displayMessage(); to work on the same onclick event?

 

<a href=# onclick=closeMessage()&&displayMessage('page.php');return false>Add</a>

 

All I know is that it doesn't work as is. Any help is appreciated.

Yes use a semi-colin as you did with the return statement

 

<a href="#" onclick="closeMessage();displayMessage('page.php');return false">Add</a>

Alright is there an alternative method? Because sadly that still does not work. Also both the closeMessage() and displayMessage() work apart from one another but once I combine them. Nothing.

can you post your code ? what are you trying to acheive from these functions

[phpQuestioner]

encapsulate both functions into one and use a setTimeout for each function.

 

like so:

 

<script language="javascript">
function closeMessage()
{
// functions contents here
}
function displayMessage(url)
{
// functions contents here
}
function loadBothMyFunctions()
{
setTimeout("closeMessage()", 100)
setTimeout("displayMessage('page.php')", 200);
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="loadBothMyFunctions()">Add</a>
