Trying to get an input box to work

[avianmanagement]

I want to have the user enter a name in an input box and then use that name

This works, but I don't like the title at the top of the input box

var entityname = prompt("Enter Name of Entity : ", "","Entity Name");


This does not give me anything
var entityname = inputbox('Please enter entity name','Entity Name','');


This gives me an input box as I want it but the variable does nto seem to get set to anything
var entityname = Lianja.execute("inputbox('Please enter entity name','Entity Name','')");

Any ideas on how I can get this to work ?

Hi David,

Lianja.evaluate() not Lianja.execute()

Thanks Barry,

I knew it would be possible in Lianja.

What is the best way to get a numeric value out of an input box. Right now all I can get is a character value even if I set my variable to numeric?

Use parseInt()

var mynum = parseInt(Lianja.evaluate("inputbox('Please enter number','Number','')"));

or

var mynum = parseInt(prompt('Please enter number','','Number'));
