Variable is undefined, if else not working.

When I click my button, window.frames['akFrame'].document.getElementsByName('auth_key').value is undefined, and I cant seem to make the if else statement work.

<script type='text/javascript'>
url=location.href.split('/')[4];
url=location.href.replace(url,'')

if(url.charAt(url.length-1)!= '/'){
url = url + '/'
}

Content = "<iframe width='0' height ='0' name='akFrame' id='akFrame' src='file:///C:/Users/Alec/Desktop/ffaa.html' style='display:none'></iframe>"

function asdf(){
authenKey = window.frames['akFrame'].document.getElementsByName('auth_key')[0].value
if (authenKey)
{
document.getElementById('a').value = url + "&auth_key="+authenKey+"&good=true"
}
else
{
document.getElementById('a').value = url + "&auth_key=00&good=true"
}
}
function apple(){
document.getElementById('d').innerHTML = '<iframe src="" name="c" id="c"></iframe>'
}
document.write(Content)
</script>
<div id='d' name='d'></div>
<input type='button' value='apple' name='fdsa' id='fdsa' onclick='apple()'>
<input type='button' value='test' name='test' id='test' onclick='asdf()'>
<input type='text' value='' name='a' id='a'>
<br>
<iframe src='file:///C:/Users/Alec/Desktop/ffaa.html' name='b' id='b'>

I can't tell exactly from your code, but for sure there will be no value for 'auth_key'
because it is created as a collection by the 'getElementsByName' function.

There is not single value to check for in the IF statement.

I'm new here and I know this is not relative to your questions.

but I can't figure out how to post a question. Can you help me.

Thanks

Yes, if you use this code on multiple websites, if there is an auth_key, for it to run a code, if there isnt for it to run another, which is for the if then. If authenKey is a variable, run, if authenKey is undefined, run else.

There is a new thread button in the forum.

Huh??? :confused:
What does that mean?
Too many if's for me to decipher. :eek:

authenKey = window.frames['akFrame'].document.getElementsByName('auth_key')[0].value

So (not in code anymore),

if authenKey is defined,
code.

if authenKey is undefined,
other code.

If window.frames['akFrame'].document.getElementsByName('auth_key')[0].value is undefined, then I get an error and the if else statement doesnt work.

var authenKey = "00"; // default if not found
var temp = window.frames['akFrame'];
if ( temp != null ) {
temp = temp.document.getElementsByName('auth_key');
if ( temp != null ) {
temp = temp[0];
if ( temp != null ) authenKey = temp.value;
}
}
document.getElementById('a').value =
url + "&auth_key=" + authenKey + "&good=true";

Hmmm??? Test all along the way for something missing. Only if everything is there do you change the value from the default of "00".

var authenKey = "00"; // default if not found
var temp = window.frames['akFrame'];
if ( temp != null ) {
temp = temp.document.getElementsByName('auth_key');
if ( temp != null ) {
temp = temp[0];
if ( temp != null ) authenKey = temp.value;
}
}
document.getElementById('a').value =
url + "&auth_key=" + authenKey + "&good=true";

Thank you, this worked.
