I need to change this javascript funtion into all javascript. I need the cfif
isdefine, and cfoutput removed. Could someone PLEASE show me how to do this?
Thanks,

function getSymbols()
{
    var map = getMainMap();
    var theSymColl = map.getSymbols();
    var opt = new Option("-- Select a symbol --", "null");
    eval("document.draw_form.draw_symbol_name.options[0]=opt");
    for (var i=0; i < theSymColl.size(); i++){
        var opt = new Option(theSymColl.item(i), theSymColl.item(i));
        eval("document.draw_form.draw_symbol_name.options[i+1]=opt");
        <CFIF ISDEFINED("DRAW_SYMBOL_NAME")>
            <CFOUTPUT>
            var selectedSym = "#DRAW_SYMBOL_NAME#";
            </CFOUTPUT>
            if (theSymColl.item(i) == selectedSym){
                document.draw_form.draw_symbol_name.options[i+1].selected=true;
            }
        </CFIF>
    }
}

Not really possible. The

<CFIF ISDEFINED("DRAW_SYMBOL_NAME")>

is checking a CF variable server side. JS cannot do this. JS is purely client-side scripting.

hi by doing some changes we can do this. try in this way. <script> var
dramsymbolname=0; </script> <CFIF ISDEFINED('DRAW_SYMBOL_NAME')>     <CFOUTPUT>
<script language='javascript'> var selectedSym =
'#DRAW_SYMBOL_NAME#'; dramsymbolname=1;
</script> </CFOUTPUT> </cfif> function getSymbols()
{     var map = getMainMap();     var theSymColl = map.getSymbols();        var opt = new
Option('-- Select a symbol --', 'null');
    eval('document.draw_form.draw_symbol_name.options[0]=opt');     for (var i=0; i <
theSymColl.size(); i++){         var opt = new Option(theSymColl.item(i),
theSymColl.item(i));
        eval('document.draw_form.draw_symbol_name.options[i+1]=opt');         if
(drawsymbolname=1) {
    if (theSymColl.item(i) == selectedSym){
                document.draw_form.draw_symbol_name.options[i+1].selected=true;             }             }
} } i think this
will solve your problem. and here i have just written a sample code for you.
this is not as syntatically, please change as your requirements. thanks
