Hi there,

The problem (or feature) with ASP include files is that they are processed by the server. Their content is not send to the browser as is. So they won't work like regular JavaScript includes.

You have (at least) two options:

1. Move the client side JavaScript function to a client side .js file and use <script language="JavaScript" src="MyFunctions.js"></script> in your ASP file to have the browser request the .js file.

2. Use Response.Write to have the ASP include file output the function to the browser:

Code:

Response.Write("<SCR" & "IPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"">" & vbCrLf)
Response.Write(vbTab & "Â¡Â¡function setmenu1(){.....}" & vbCrLf)
Response.Write("</SC" & "RIPT>")

You'll need to split up the <script> tags, because otherwise the ASP processor thinks you are trying to close or open a server side script tag.

1) it appears that IE cannot see the function setmenu1(), another word, cannot see the include file "com_setmenu.asp".

If you use #include file="com_setmenu.asp", make sure it resides in the same folder as "house.asp", otherwise, try:
#include virtual="/YourProject/com_setmenu.asp
assume "com_setmenu.asp" is under project folder.

2) you can use both server and client #include as following:

<%
'server code...
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>

  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="client_script2.js"></SCRIPT>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" SRC="client_script3.vbs"></SCRIPT>

  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    //your main script goes here
  </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
  <SELECT .....>
</BODY>
</HTML>

//with "client_script2.js" and "client_script3.vbs" without the <SCRIPT> tag

hope this help,
