Beginner Problem 1

grabrail · Oct 10, 2001

Im new to VBScript and I am playing with script in web pages.

I have a small section of code which utilises variables, sauch as name, address and phone number.

I use an inputbox to prompt for user input and the appropriate variable is filled with the data.

What I want to achieve is output of the variables to my web page without using msgbox.

Can anybody help me to achieve this

You could put a span, and then output the value to that:

<span id=theSpan name=theSpan></span>

then, the syntax for getting the value to show in between those two tags is:

theSpan.innerHTML = value

<SPAN ID="my_span"></SPAN>

It's just HTML code (that I didn't know, but useful!).
You can put it anywhere on your page, it's like a label I think, but it doesn't refer any control.

myspan.innerHTML = string

It's more JavaScipt than VBScript according to me.
I tested it with :

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function WriteOnSpan()
{
my_span.innerHTML = "After the test.";
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<SPAN ID="my_span">Before the test.</SPAN><BR>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="test it!"
OnClick="WriteOnSpan()">
</BODY>
</HTML>

I hopes it helps you.
