You could try placing the data to be passed between VBScript and JScript in an invisible form temporarily. Both VB and javascript can access this in read/write.

Hope this helps,

By the time javascript takes over, all the vbscript code would have already been interpreted. So, to pass a value from vbscript to javascript, you can just write it out with inline code:
var user = <%= objRS(&quot;username&quot %>;

To pass a value from javascript to vbscript, you can, as Tom suggested, pass it in a form variable or you can do it via a querystring.

Dear parames,

There is at least one article on MSDN that warns against using more than one scripting engine due to the overhead and order of execution.

Now if you want to do it anyway... you can return values from functions across engines like this:

<%@ language=javascript %>
<script language=vbscript runat=server>
function myVbFunc()
myVbFunc = 25
end function
</script>

<%
var someVal = myVbFunc();
Response.write(&quot;<p>&quot; + someVal + &quot;</p>&quot;
%>

Hope this helps
