Accessing a variable from Server in client side code?

efrost2 · Oct 15, 2001

I have an asp page which populates a variable on the server side, how do I get access to this variable in client side script.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
Function GetValue()
{
//Can I access MyVar here???
}
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
dim MyVar
'do my database stuff
MyVar=value returned from server
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
Function GetValue()
{
var x="<%=aspvariable%>";
}
</SCRIPT>

Sorry, I didn't read all the way down. I never saw your variable name but here it is.

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
Function GetValue()
{
   var x="<%=MyVal%>";
}
</SCRIPT>

Side note: You may need to drop the quotation marks around the <%=MyVal%>
