Response.Write doesn't work?

Ron Howerton · March 5th, 2007, 01:32 PM

This javascript code in the html below does nothing and provides no error message for why it isn't working:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
    <head>
        <meta content="JavaScript" name="vs_defaultClientScript">
    </head>
    <body id="bdySurvey" MS_POSITIONING="FlowLayout" style="color:;font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">
        <form name="frmSurvey" id="frmSurvey">
My text before the script<br/>

<script language="javascript">Response.Write("TEST TEXT");</script><br/>

my text after the script
        </form>
    </body>
</HTML>

If I replace the Response.Write with alert, I get a message box, so I know it's running the script. But I cannot seem to get any text to appear on my form. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

There is no Response object in java script, if you try it in IE [java script validation enabled]you might get a script error.

You can use jsp scriplets [<%%>] or assignment tag [<%=%>] and use out object and call print() method to out put string. if you want to use only script the use innerHTML attribute to set the text.
