Basic VBscript question

Yazster · Sep 22, 2000

I'm new to VBscript, and I have a question concerning the DOCUMENT.WRITELN command.

According to a few books I've seen, this command should display messages to the current document, but everytime I use it, it always blanks my screen and displays it on a new blank document.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Yazster

response.write
is what you need for VBScript.

this is what I use when I create new .ASP page as and am passing arguments to the page.

<html>
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<head>
<title>Parts Search Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<%pnum=request.querystring("PartNumber&quot

Response.Write "Part: " & pnum%>
</body>
</html>

----------------
In my example above I have a text box on a form called PartNumber and when I press the submit button on the page calling this one it passes ?PartNumber=12345 in the URL
This page takes PartNumber and puts it in pnum with the request.querystring line and then Response.Write prints it out.

OK
Note you must have the script inside <% %> commands or the browser will think its HTML and just print it on the page.
