ASP and VBScript

[JamesN]

hi,

i'm new to asp and was wondering if there is any way to call asp routines
inside a vbscript function
example:

<SCRIPT=VBSCRIPT RUNAT=SERVER>
function xxx()
<% asp code here %>
end function

</SCRIPT>

Am I trying to do the impossible?

Thx,
James

No, you can't call ASP function from client-side script, becuase by the time
the client-side script runs the server is already finished and it's not an
interactive process. Any serve code you want to run has to originate from
the browser submitting a page / going to a new URL etc.

You can however 'pass' ASP variables to client side code in a manner of speaking
:

<% 'server code
dim x
x = 1
%>

<script language=pants>
'client code
dim y

'assign y (client var) the value of x (server var)
y = <% =x %>

</script>

You can also 'generate' client script in much the same way as you would construct
an sql statement etc.

Hi

Thanks for that....another question: is there a way to ASP client side variables
inside a vbscript routine to a session variable declared in the global.asa
file?

Assign them to a hidden field in your client-side script that exists inside
a <form> tag, and then post that form data from the client, or pass them to
the server via a cookie or URL parameter. Use the Request object on the
server to retrieve the values and store them in the Session variable.
