Calling a function through button click event

[MavrickStl]

I am trying to call a function through a button click event.

Ex:

Response.write "<INPUT TYPE=""Submit"" VALUE=""Copy"" onClick=""return dataset()"">"


Dataset() function should be able to return values returned by following query:

Select Desc2 from XXXX where bla bla bla

If there is nothing to return it will not return 0.

Else it will return DESC2 (varchar2 in the DB) field.

I will use DESC2 field to populate a textarea field on the same form:

<Textarea cols="85" rows="1" NAME="Second1" <%=rstemp("desc2")%></textarea>


Any clues how to go about it.

Thanks,

Mav

I'm afraid you want to mix client-side and server-side code ...

Hope This Helps, PH.
