Calling a client or a server script from the same button(or hyperlink)

[sherlock1305]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a link(or a button) that will start a download and that will permit me to write data to my database...

Someone knows how I can do it???

Thanks a lot,

Well, let's say you wanted your user to download a program called me.exe and also fire off an asp script called me.asp at the same time.

Your javascript function might look like this:

function fireMe(){
var proggy = "me.exe";
var x = window.open(proggy,'downWindow');
location = 'me.asp';
}

if you call that function onClick of a button, then it will first pop a window that will start your download, and then will change the position of the main page to 'me.asp', which will execute your script.

That popup will just close as soon as it downloads.

hope that helps!
