another msgbox question 1

[MillsRJ]

I have the following code on an asp page. the form parameters are passed from another pages submit function

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>

<!--#include file=&quot;Connections/OTReporting.asp&quot; -->
<% Response.Buffer = True %>
<!--#include file=&quot;inc_top_img.asp&quot; -->
<% if session(&quot;LoggedIn&quot then %>

<%
dim x
if request.form(&quot;subcategoryselect&quot=0 then
response.redirect(&quot;dataentry.asp?entryerr=1&quot
end if
if request.form(&quot;datebox&quot = &quot;&quot; then
response.redirect(&quot;dataentry.asp?entryerr=2&quot
end if
if datediff(&quot;d&quot;,Now,request.form(&quot;datebox&quot) > 0 then
response.redirect(&quot;dataentry.asp?entryerr=3&quot
end if
%>

problem is that I want to add a msgbox function in front of each response.redirect, obviously I'm having no luck (otherwise why would I ask?)

I've tried putting
<script language=&quot;vbscript&quot;>
msgbox &quot;you chose the wrong button&quot;
</script>

but it doesn't work, any ideas?

thanks

Here's a trick I use:
<%
dim x
if request.form(&quot;subcategoryselect&quot=0 then
%>

<form name=&quot;frmTest&quot; action=&quot;dataentry.asp?entryerr=1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
iResponse = msgbox(&quot;Are you sure that you want to go to Data Entry?&quot;,4,&quot;Verify Submission&quot
if iResponse = vbno then
window.event.returnvalue=false
Else
frmTest.Submit()
end if

</script>
</form>
<%
End IF
%>

I can tell you must be in a intranet setting with IE only browsers. right Veep?

How'd ya guess? 99.9% of my answers in VBScript have anything to do with it?

It's like second nature and always right on the tip of my toungue. Probably like JavaScript is for you. When I think JavaScript solution, I actually have to think .

 

[MillsRJ]

I see, so you use a form (an HTML tag) to do the function of the respons.redirect.

awsome, thank you

<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>

thanks

MillsRJ
the language spec does not have any further bearing on the page then specifying what langauge you are developing the ASP in.

note: Veep's and my discussion was in that the scripts will only work via IE. If that is fine then please, next time let us know that and things will become much more clear and easier to guide on.
