How to display No data found.

I am listing files and folders using php. some of the folder does not have files. So when I click on the folder without any files, it gives me javascript error because there is no data in myData.

Hi Alex,

I am listing files and folders. I am dynamically putting values in to

<script>var myData = [];</script>

using PHP. Folders name are link, when clicked on them it goes to next level. But when the folder don't have any sub folder or files, then there is no value in

<script>var myData = [];</script>

, it gives me javascript error.
So what I want is if there is no values in myData as above, then what should I do, so that javascript error does not come up.

<html>
<head>
    <title>Browse Archive</title>
    <style> body, html {margin:0px; padding: 0px; overflow: hidden;} </style>

Sorry I put PHP code, but looks like that is giving some error, but, as you can see above in function getDirList ($dirName), i dynamically populate myData with values file and folder details using PHP. But some times there is no values in myData as there is no file or folder. So when the page is loaded there is no value in myData, so it gives javascript error.

I hope this help.

Thanks

Hey Alex,

Dont Worry. I have fixed the problem.
Following was the problem. The second parameter of obj.setRowProperty has to be 0, if there is no data....

//set number of rows/columns
obj.setRowProperty("count", 0);
obj.setColumnProperty("count", 4);

Many Thanks
