Pass Vbscript variable to JavaScript function

[sabavno]

Hi,

I have a form.
When I retrieve the form's values I use Vbscript

<%

Dim RequestType
Dim EmployeeID
Dim RequestorID

RequestType=Request.Form(&quot;RequestType&quot
EmployeeID=Request.Form(&quot;recip_employee_no&quot
RequestorID=Request.Form(&quot;request_employee_no&quot


%>

Then goes the HTML part and then JavaScript function.
When I use RequestType variable in my JavaScript function, I get an error RequestType is not defined. Is that because the VbScript variable are not visible for the JavaScript

How to go around this problem

Thanks

Yes. The VBScript variables exist on the server, the javascript variables exist on the client. An easy way to transfer values from your VBScript to your javascript is to simply write them inoto the javascript exactly the way you would write something into your html:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
var x = <%=RequestType%>
//-->
</script>

Since the javascript won't get executed until you it gets to the client, you can write anything you want to into the javascript section from your VBScript.
