onClick event

Why doesn't the sub work when called from the <input type='button' name='myButton' value='click me'>

<%


'This won't work, I get nothing
sub myButton_OnClick
response.write &quot;hello world&quot;

end sub


'From here it works

that's because Your SUB remains on the server.


test.htm:

<input type='button' name='myButton' value='Submit'  OnClick=&quot;myButton_OnClick();&quot;>

<script language=&quot;vbscript&quot;>
function myButton_OnClick
    MsgBox &quot;hello world&quot;
end function
</script>

Be aware that this only works in IE!

If you want a function to start when the SUBMIT button is hit, you can do this also like this:

<form name=frm1>
<input type=submit>
</form>

<script language=VBScript>
function frm1_OnSubmit
end function
</script>
