Javascript If Then question

[RAM]

I am trying to have the text on a page change color depending on the status of one of my devices. I've got all the code working except the if statement for setting the hex value used in the color statement.
Here's the code I'm having trouble with. I'm guessing I'm missing something that let' it evaluate the device status properly.

var hex="666666";
var hds=hs.devicestatus("V26")
if(hds<3){
hex="00FF00";
}

If I replace the "var hds=hs.devicestatus("V26")" line with "hds=2" or "hds=3" it works OK.
Any ideas what I'm missing?

Try:

var hex="666666";
var hds=parseInt(hs.devicestatus("V26"))
if(hds<3){
hex="00FF00";
}

Try:

var hex="666666";
var hds=parseInt(hs.devicestatus("V26"));
if(hds<3){
hex="00FF00";
}

Nope... apparently hs.devicestatus (fyi, I also tried hs.ison) doesn't return anything or at least nothing that an be interpreted/converted and acted upon by the if statement.

Anyone else have any other ideas?

javascript is executed in the browser, whereas the HS object exists on the server, so you wont be able to access HS with this method. If the page is an ASP page, then you would be able to access the HS object and set the color as needed:

if(hs.deviceStatus("_9")=2) then     'on
   cls="'tablecellon'"
else
   cls="'tablecelloff'"
end if
response.write "<td class=" & cls & ">" & GetDeviceName("_9") & "</td>"
