Still can not call a server side sub using the onclick event 2

[bryant89]

I can not call a server side sub from an onclick event within an image tag. If anyone knows how to do this let me know. If I use the <% %> asp tags it just calls the method as soon as the page is hit rather then after the onclick.

bryant, I am real sorry to hear that you got stuck in the middle of a project - ouch. I and a couple coworkers of mine are working on a project that will last for a couple of years at least. After putting out the first version, we got a new project manager. Ouch. she is still pretty much clueless.

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you. The best way to learn asp is by doing, so keep at it. ray

Hey man thanks for the encouragement. By the way I did get all the menus working just now. So thank you very much for all the help. I am sure you will hear from me soon enough.

Ya this project will probably last me forever at the rate I am going right now.

>Ouch. she is still pretty much clueless.

Ha ha that is probably what my boss is saying too. This guy is clueless compared to the previous programmer.

I won't agree with that. There is almost always 'something' you can do.

I have had modest success mixing HTML with DTC's and Client Side script within a page runing the SOM. You will need some patience and the desire to dig your heels in until you understand the SOM (at least as well as you need to).

One real obvious thing to try from your HTML and Client Script code is to submit 'thisForm', i.e.:

document.thisForm.submit();

Good luck

This may sound too simple but it's how I solved the problem. I set a flag variable so that the ASP code will not execute until my java function is called by the onclick event.
