Hi JJ:

    Of course, I defined getobj() exactly  as you noted above, but failed to 
include its definition in my example.  I have used this for a few months 
now. It prevents a lot of typing errors for me.


    Because 1/2 of the time I work/develop in another C-based language (the 
Harbour language --- xHarbour), I make many mistakes when moving from 
Harbour to JavaScript several times a day.  So,  I created some utility 
string functions (inter alia)  for JS that emulate some those functions in 
Harbour:

    Here are a few below the starred line.

    I must say tho that I miss the '$' operator in Javascript.  In my 
harbour language,  it is implemented as follows:

        lFoundit := "MEL"  $  upper("isthatmelana##holeorwhat")     // 
looking for letters 'mel' in string
        // lFoundit returns true (or in harbour --- .T.)

        So, I use the function partof() below as a substitute

-Mel


*****************************
function setfocus(cid) {
document.getElementById(cid).focus();
}

function len(str) {
   if (str && typeof str === "string") {
      return str.length;
      }
   else return 0 ;
}


function alltrim(str) {
   return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"") ;
}

function empty(str) {
if (typeof str === "string" && str.length === 0) return true ;
if (typeof str === "number" && str.value === 0) return true ;
return false ;
}

function partof(c,str) {
return (str.indexOf(c) !== -1) ? true : false ;
}

function left(cstr,numchars) {
if (typeof cstr === "string" && typeof numchars === "number") return 
cstr.substr(0,numchars) ;
return cstr ;
}

function right(cstr,numchars) {
if (typeof cstr === "string" && typeof numchars === "number") return 
cstr.substring(cstr.length-numchars,cstr.length) ;
return cstr ;
}

function upper(cstr) {
return cstr.toUpperCase() ;
}

function lower(cstr) {
return cstr.toLowerCase() ;
}
