AlexTape has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks
I want to generate a dynamic button with cgi.pm

$var_Typ = "variable"; $q->button(-id=>"$var_Typ-parm-toggle", -value=>'show/hide', -onClick=>"toggle_visibility('$var_Typ');", -name=>"show table"),

but i dont get what i want:

<input type="button"  name="show table" value="show/hide" onclick="toggle_visibility(&#39;variable&#39;);" id="variable-parm-toggle" />

the & # 3 9 should be a simple ' to get up with the js function..
now i seek for your advice...

$perlig =~ s/pec/cep/g if 'errors expected';

    CGI.

    use CGI ":standard"; my $var_Typ = "variable"; autoEscape(0); print CGI::button(-id=>"$var_Typ-parm-toggle", -value=>'show/hide', -onClick=>"toggle_visibility('$var_Typ');", -name=>"show table"); __END__ <input type="button" name="show table" value="show/hide" onclick="tog +gle_visibility('variable');" id="variable-parm-toggle" />
