Hi,

Is it possible to display a tag name, if it is checked, in a HTML window?

I have sorted my DVD's into sections, say S1, S2, S3. I also have three tags S1, S2, S3. Depending on where the DVD is located, one of the tags will be checked. Is there a way to display that this tag has been checked.

I only want one of these three to be displayed. For example, if I had another tag TO WATCH which is also checked, I would not want this displayed in the window.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciatied. I'm not sure if it's a mammoth task or not 

Thanks, Spike

Something like this should do the trick:

Quote:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
//-->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
for (x in DP_Tags) {
var tag=DP_Tags[x];
if (tag=="S1" || tag=="S2" || tag=="S3") document.write(tag);
}
</SCRIPT>

</BODY>
</HTML>

That's great Tom, but is there any way of inserting a comma and space between each displayed tag?

where it says "document.write(tag);" change it to "document.write(tag+', ');"

and yes, that will leave a trailing comma space after the last tag.

What if S1, S2 and S3 are child tags of Location?

Is this still possible?

Thanks

Change it to

if (tag=="Location/S1" || tag=="Location/S2" || tag=="Location/S3") document.write(tag);


or better

if (tag.match("Location/") document.write(tag);

I had to add in another ) to get that to work Tom.
if (tag.match("Location/")) document.write(tag);

Great work though, certainly is easier than specifiying each tag.  I have a question though, is it possible to prevent the parent tag being displayed with every child tag?

Somthing like this should do the trick:

if (tag.match("Contributions/")) document.write(tag.substring(tag.lastIndexOf("/")+1));

Tom, your post is basically the only mention I find of DP_Tags. Is there a complete list of the header vars somewhere, or can it maybe be generated within DVDP?

Edit: AH, found it! It's in the generated HTML.
