return from asp function

[MinnisotaFreezing]

Hi,

Is there anyway way I can capture the return from an asp call into a Javascript variable? I am trying to figure out how a page works, and there is a call that I'm pretty sure results in a URL. I want to capture this to a javascript varaible, the Alert(var) to find out what it is.

Any ideas?

If you check out the FAQs the second FAQ has a Q and A, one of them covers writing an ASP variable value to a javascript variable. It's not actually necessary to write it to an alert box though, a simelp Response.Write with some bright colors ought to suffice in showing you the value coming back.

Great, thanks a lot. Can I ask you, is this proper ASP syntax?

dim a = FileName.asp?path=Fcu1R3f?game=sc

Thanks again.

No, you need to surround that in quotes since you are specifying a string, like so:

dim a = "FileName.asp?path=Fcu1R3f?game=sc"

if you don't surround it in quotes it won't be recognized as a string and will give youy strange errors.

Hope this helps,
