Problem capturing event in JavaScript and showing date values...

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I'm trying to capture the DblClk event, and then display more details to the

user.  I can capture the event, and grab the data alright, but the values

that I'm trying to retreive are date values.  When I use the following code,

the values come back as like this: nINIValue=37578.333333333336 ,

nValue=37578.395833333336 but I'm looking for them to come back like this:

nINIValue=11/18/2002 8:00:00 , nValue=11/18/2002 9:30:00.  By the way, I'm

doing this for a Gantt chart which is why I'm using the IniValue as well.

Any idea of what I need to do?  Do I just need to do a conversion with

JavaScript?  If so, what kind?  Here's the client side JavaScript code I'm

using.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" for="Chart" event="LButtonDblClk(x, y, nSerie,

nPoint, nRes)">

 <!--

  try {

   var f = window.document.formContent;

   var numOfSuppliers = f.numOfSuppliers.value;

   var numOfMaxRackLiftings = f.numOfMaxRackLiftings.value;

   if ((nSerie != -1) && (nPoint != -1)){

    //' Open the communications channel to get the value of the series/point

    var Chart = f.Chart;

    Chart.OpenDataEx(<%=COD_VALUES%>, numOfSuppliers, numOfMaxRackLiftings);

    Chart.OpenDataEX(<%=COD_INIVALUES%>, numOfSuppliers,

numOfMaxRackLiftings);

    //Chart.ThisSerie=nSerie;

    nINIValue = f.Chart.IniValue(nPoint);

    nValue = f.Chart.Value(nPoint);

    //' Close the communications channel

    f.Chart.CloseData(1);

    alert(nINIValue + " " + nValue);

   }

  } catch(e) {

   alert(e.description);

  }

  Chart.ReturnValue = 1;

 //-->

</SCRIPT>

Thanks for any help!

ChartFX is designed to handle numbers if both the X and Y axes. When dates

are passed they are translated to numbers and kept internally as double

precision numbers. When labels are shown they are translated back to date

strings. In VBScript you could write CDate(dValue) and it would return you

the date you expect. I am not sure if this possible in JavaScript but we

will research into this.
