I am validating form using both vbscript and javascript. I am getting the dynamic input data from web page using vbscript and validating the field with javascript. I am having hard time in the bold area, Javascript doesn't recognize it since I get the input with vbscript. Is there any way that Jscript and vbscript can communicate each other or any help. Here is the my code...

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function hasSelection(Setup,strFieldName,strMsg) {

     var objFormField = Setup.elements[strFieldName];
     if(objFormField.selectedIndex ==0) {
         strAlertMsg += "- "+ strMsg +" is Required.\n";
     if(!focusField) focusField=""+ strFieldName +"";
     return false;
         }
     return true;
}

function validateForm(Setup){
alert(<%=nID%>_RootCaused)
strAlertMsg = ""
focusField = ""

hasSelection(Setup,'<%=nID%>_RootCaused','RootCaused')

    if(strAlertMsg !=""){
     alert("Please correct the following errors:\n__\n\n"+ strAlertMsg);
     eval("Setup." + focusField + ".focus()");
     return false;
    }
    return true;
}
//-->
</script>
//There is a database connection...

nID = rsListCounts("nID")

<form name="Setup" method="post" action="CycleProcess1.asp?Type=MLS" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);">

<select NAME="<%=nID%>_RootCaused" size="1">
<option value="Empty">Please Select Root Cause</option>
<%rsListRootCauses.MoveFirst()%>
<%While NOT rsListRootCauses.EOF%>
<%
sVal = rsListRootCauses("strRootCause")
sValue = rsListRootCauses("strRootCauseDesc")
%>
<option value="<%=sVal%>"><%=sValue%></option>
<%rsListRootCauses.MoveNext() : Wend%>
</select>

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Setup" VALUE="Save Root Cause" >
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Setup" VALUE="Quit"></TD>
</form>

thanks....
