Difference in JavaScript vs. VB tools

Postby lkhaas(Legacy Member) on Mon Apr 24, 2006 10:15 am

When using the function code128Auto (passing value '123456789') I get two different results depending on whether I use the JavaScript code or the the Visual Basic code that was downloaded from the Morovia site. Which is correct?

I made a couple of simple tests.

The result for VB code is correct. The Javascript code seems to have a bug which produces the incorrect results encoding odd-lenght numbers.

Looks like the code posted in the article has a few problems. Both in the first line to be replaced. I included details in my comments on the article but it was an incorrect parenthesis and using isNumber rather than isNumeric. But with those changes it seems to solve the problem I encountered. Thanks for the speedy response!

Thanks for pointing out the problem. The function isNumber should be changed to IsNumeric. We have modified the article to reflect the change.
