ASP programming

[jimsterS]

I am building an ASP page so that when the user presses a button it take him to a different page. I am using the response.redirect("NewPage.asp&quot and am having trouble getting the syntax right. Here is what I have so far

<INPUT NAME=&quot;Button1&quot; TYPE=&quot;BUTTON&quot;
VALUE=&quot;Click Here&quot; Button1_onclick<%=Response.Redirect(&quot;NewPage.asp&quot%>

when I run the page it jumps to NewPage without giving the user a chance to push the button.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

For future reference there is an ASP forum specifically for us ASP people, (they don't let us out much ) so you may want to join that one as well, always some interesting stuff being posted.

In regards to your question, since ASP is a server-side scripting language it gets executed before the page is sent to the client (browser) and then it is done. When you write a Response.Redirect into your ASP script it throws away what it had and immediately directs the browser to the new page. I believe what you want to do is something like this:

<input type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;document.location='NewPage.asp';&quot; Value=&quot;click here&quot;>

Pardon the javascript, but I generally write my ASP in VBScript and my clientside code in javascript to keep them seperate in my mind.

Hope that helps,

another option is to write a subroutine in your client side script

<script language=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;>
sub button1_onclick()
form1.action = &quot;NewPage.asp&quot;
form1.submit()
end sub
</script>

this subroutine is triggered when u click the button named button1 with in the form tag named form1.
