javascript message box (interesting problem)

[Anonymous]

I seem to have coded myself into a silly situation. I have a function in javascript working exactly as I want, but for a unneeded alert box!
I added a message box for troubleshooting and now have the function working the way I want it to.
BUt now, if I remove the message box, the function does not seem to work.It seems like th user input of OK on the message box triggers the function to continue.( would that be possible?)
How do I get out of this? Please help.

function zoomFeature( ){
var map = getMap();
map.setAutoRefresh(false);
numRows = GetName.getRowCount();
for (i=0;i var templat = GetName.getField(i,"lat");
var templon = GetName.getField(i,"lon");
var tempfacil = GetName.getField(i,"faciid");
}

//alert(" done setting variables"); //I WANT TO REMOVE THIS MESSAGE BOX

if (tempfacil == "campus") {
map.zoomScale(templat,templon,10000);
}
else {
map.zoomScale(templat,templon,800);
}
self.focus();
map.setAutoRefresh(true);
map.refresh();
//alert("done");
}

Hi Swati

Please check the ismapbusy section to solve your
problem.

Your alert message indirectly "solved" the
ismapbusy problem that is why it is work when your alert box is
there.

Take alook at API help under section mapbusy. 
It explain and give some example on how to do it

Hopefully it works

Regards

thanks for your message.I tried what you said and I do agree the map is
busy when I try to run the funcion. Now how do I wait for it to get out
of that state and try again?

is'nt my setautorefresh to false taking care of it?

Thanks a lot

well setAutorefresh not necessary taking care of it

when you chech using isMapBusy put condition if yes
to call the function you want again but better if you use timer

Meaning,

function hello()

{
   if (map.isBusy())
setTimeout("hello()", 1000);

    else

   --do something you want
here--

}
