Passing Javascript to ASP on same page?

craigward · Jan 16, 2008

Hi,

Is there a simple way of passing javascript to asp on the same page, for example:

Code:

<html>
<head>
    <script language="JavaScript">	
     
      a = "test"
     
    </script>
</head>

<body>
<%
response.write(Javascript variable here)
%>
</body>
</html>

I very much doubt it.
Javascript is executed on client-side, while asp-vbscript is executed on server-side.
This means that the ASP code is long executed and rendered to HTML before the Javascript code is executed.

You'd need a time machine.

Someone correct my if I'm wrong on this.

Absolutely correct. The ASP code is executed on the server, and the results passed to the client where the Javascript is processed. The server and client do NOT communicate through a web page unless you use AJAX or a Java (NOT Javascript) applet.

think of the communication between server and client as a telephone conversation. on one end you have caller 1, who speaks into the phone, sending data through wires to caller 2. once caller 2 receives the information, he/she processes the information and responds, by sending information back through the wires.

when you're on the phone with someone, you can't reach through and hand the caller something - you'll need to send it through the wires, as always.

Thanks for that. I got round it another way now so i can forget passing javascript.

Thanks
