asp within javascript?

vivalet · November 5th, 2003, 08:44 PM

I am working on a page where the javascript needs to be dynamically written depending on the content for the page. The content for the page is determined with VBScript.

I have tried to write the javascript with <% asp vbs code%> inserting the vbscript variables, but that is not working.

Is there a way to write the javascript server side using asp so it will work client side?

thanks!

you could create the page dynamically using a dll. it can be done in vb/vfp/delphi etc.

You don't specify what not working means. One thing to watch out for is to split script tags or you'll confuse the parser:

Code:

<% 
  Dim sName
  sName = GetNameFromDatabase() 
  Dim sScript
  sScript = "<scr" & "ipt type=""text/javascript""" & vbCrLf
  sScript = sScript & "alert(""" & sName & "");" & vbCrLf
  sScript = sScript & "</scr" & "ipt>" & vbCrLf
  Response.Write sScript
%>
