I have an external vbscript file that I have linked to my page in the head. I am writing some javascript to intereact with the functions in the external .vbs file. Here is the external script code...

Dim o3web

Sub window_onload
   Set o3Web = createObject("triadweb.cls3Web")
   o3Web.Init()
End Sub

Sub window_unload
   Set o3Web = NOTHING
End Sub

Function sCurrentUser()
   sCurrentUser=o3Web.sCurrentUser()
End Function

Here is my javascript/head code...

<script language="VBScript" src="score.vbs" type="text/VBScript"></script>

<script language="JavaScript">
    var sUser=o3Web.sCurrentUser();
</script>

I am getting the error that o3Web is null. Does anyone know why?

This is because the VBScript can not directly interact with the Javascript in this way. you could try using the QueryString or a form field, which both Javascript and VBScript can access.

Hi Clay,

The problem is that you javascript is being executed as soon as it is reached & you vbscript when the Window_Onload event fires.

One way to get round this would be to call a javascript function at the end of your Window_Onload(), something like...

<script language="vbscript">
Dim dom
Sub Window_Onload()
    Set dom = CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.4.0")
    dom.async = False
    dom.loadXML("<parenttag><childtag /></parenttag>")
    DoJs()
End Sub
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function DoJs(){
    alert(dom.xml);
}
</script>

HTH,

Chris
