Calling a JavaScript function within ASP>??

[golyg]

I am new at this and wondering if you can call a javascript
function/or a vbscript procedure within asp code and then call an asp function within the javascript function/or vbscript).

The important distinction here is that you are attempting to call a client-side script from the server, and then turn around and call a server-side script from the client. The important thing to remember about the web is that it is connectionless. What this means is that a client sends a query to a server without creating a connection. Once that query is sent, there is no interaction. If the server returns information, it sends it as a flat file and then is done with that client. The client receives the file and displays it.
The short of the matter is that a server side script executes on the server with no connection to the client(generally speaking). When it has finished executing it sends the resulting file to the client. Server side script cannot execute client-side script on the client directly, and client-side scripts cannot execute server-side scripts directly. There are ways to get around this, to fake it, if you will.
The server pre-processess the page, the client processes the page. Just about everything else is a workaround.

That's assuming you weren't just trying to use Javascript ASP from VBScript ASP and vise-versa, which is a piece of cake. To continue the notes above, ASP (Active Server Pages) can be written in VBScript or Javascript, and is code executed on the Server. codestorm

Thanks for the advice codestorm
but you state its a &quot;piece of cake&quot;.
I have been running into a error stating
&quot;document.directoryIcon.src is null or not an object&quot;
I imagine it has to do with being client-side function?

Because it just couldn't be my code! :>

Thanks again

Usual go here is to post the code with the problem, and let us all have a hack at it. codestorm
