Upload component giving trouble in JScript.

[martindavey]

Hi,
We've re-written all our pages in JScript but are having problems with the following code.

This small example works fine in VBScript:-
<%
Dim MBRequest
Set MBRequest = GetObject( &quot;script:&quot; & Server.MapPath( &quot;./admin/wsc/MetaBuilders.FileUp.wsc&quot; ) )
reqVar = MBRequest(&quot;myVar&quot
%>
<h1>Hello: <%=reqVar%></h1>
<form>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;myVar&quot; /><br />
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; />
</form>

But the following JScript fails with:
Object doesn't support named arguments
for the line: reqVar = MBRequest(&quot;myVar&quot;

<%
var MBRequest = GetObject( &quot;script:&quot; + Server.MapPath( &quot;./admin/wsc/MetaBuilders.FileUp.wsc&quot; ) );
reqVar = MBRequest(&quot;myVar&quot;
%>
<h1>Hello: <%=reqVar%></h1>
<form>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;myVar&quot; /><br />
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; />
</form>

Any ideas why?

NB. We're using Fileup.wsc to upload pictures.

Well GetObject() is not a JScript function; in fact there aren't any JScript functions other than the ones you define.

In ASP you might use Server.CreateObject() instead. The argument to this method is the name of the component you want to use as it is known to the operating system I think. This entails registering the component. For example

var fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

I don't know how you might register Fileup.wsc or what it might be named.
