Um, no. An ASP server generates a page which is then transmitted to the 

client's computer. Although dynamically generated, the pages the ASP writes 

are actually pretty static - even the dynamic ones! They can be DHTML - 

i.e. you can Response.Write client-side javascript, just as easily as you 

can Response.Write static HTML - but the only place this script will ever 

run is within the confines of the actual document object- the page - it is 

delivered aboard. It cannot talk to the outside world.

Many people have difficulty recognising that there's no direct 

communication between the two machines, the server and the client. A 

connection isn't opened up between them so that they can run each other's 

code: all that happens is the client asks the server for a page, the server 

dumps that page onto the client and the client then _has_ the page.

Once it is sitting on the client's machine, there's nothing the server 

machine can do about it until it is asked for another page by the client. 

The client cannot "ask" the server to run a particular subroutine on it's 

side, or something. All it can do is ask for a page which may, or may not 

contain that subroutine.

The best alternative you have, if you've a fairly complicated bit of coding 

to do on the client side, is to have the server download a component, or 

something, that does the work. Without seeing what Warren is after, 

however, it's hard to see what this might consist of.

Howdy Daniel;



You are right, although I read that there is no direct communication between

the two

I keep forgetting this fact. I guess it is wishful thinking on my part. Anyway

I think I am

going to pull a little slight of hand to get this thing working.



Thanks again



Warren

Message #5 by =?iso-8859-1?Q?Gonzalo_Ruiz_de_Villa_Su=E1rez?= <gonzalo.ruizdevilla@a...> on Thu, 20 Jul 2000 17:59:39 +0200

Um, yes. There is a way of doing what you want, Warren.

If you  know a little bit of Javascript and use the code you will find at

http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/

you will solve quite quickly your problem.

You should get the files



	dynlayer.js

	dynlayer-common.js



to do the work.



You must put a hidden layer "myGreatLayerDiv" in your code and initialice

it.

It's really easy, read the documentation at DynDuo.



Then you should use the onClick event to call the "load" method of the layer

to load inside all the information generated

by an .asp. You should pass to the "load" method the function to manipulate

the data you loaded.

Something like







<HEAD>

<script language="JavaScript">

<script language="JavaScript" src="../../../js/dynlayer.js"></script>

<script language="JavaScript" src="../../../js/dynlayer-common.js"></script>

<!--

function init()

{

	DynLayerInit()

}



function doEverythingNow()

{

	//Some code to make the URL

	myURL = 'getMyInfo.asp?MyParameter=' + MyParameter

	myGreatLayer.load(myURL,'doSomethingWithTheDataNow()');

}



function doSomethingWithTheDataNow()

{

	...

	//some code

	...

}



//-->

</script>



...



</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad="init()">



...



<!-- must have bufferFrame in the body somewhere -->

<IFRAME STYLE="display:none" name="bufferFrame"></IFRAME>



<div id="myGreatLayerDiv" style="position:absolute; width:151px;

height:115px; z-index:2; left: 8px; top: 2px; visibility: hidden">



<form>

<input type="buttom" name="Load" value="Load" onClick="doEverythingNow()">

</form>



....



</body>





And that's it.



I haven't tried this solution yet, but I'm confident it will work.

Tell me if you achieve it.



Cheers,



		Gonzalo
