Hi all...

I have just started to have a bit of fun with vbscript on the client. I want to call a function or a bit of vbscript code from my asp code.

an example would be to say

if request("BUTTON&quot

="Submit" Then
'i want to call the client vbscript code here

how would i do this??

Thanks in advance

You can't call client-side script directly from server-side script. You can do the following, at best:

Code:

<% @Language=VBScript %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<%
If Request(&quot;BUTTON&quot;)=&quot;Submit&quot; Then
Response.Write(&quot;MyFunction();&quot;)
End If
%>
</script>
</body>
</html>

The above will have the returned page call the function

Code:

MyFunction()

as soon as the page is loaded in the client's browser. That is as soon as you can call a client-side function. Note: I used JavaScript here because I don't use client-side VBScript myself.

Oops... of course the code above should have the function MyFunction() actually defined in the client-side script block...

Code:

<% @Language=VBScript %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<%
If Request(&quot;BUTTON&quot;)=&quot;Submit&quot; Then
Response.Write(&quot;MyFunction();&quot;)
End If
%>
function MyFunction()
{
alert('hello world!');
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
