calling a javascript procedure from an ASP page

Guest_imported · Oct 23, 2001

i'm trying to call a javascript procedure from an ASP page... i can do it thru a link like so: [HREF='javascript:ViewInvenWO("<%=loRecordset("wo_num&quot

%>&quot

'><%=loRecordset("date_rcvd&quot

']

but how would i do it directly as i execute/include an ASP page?? what would the syntax be??

thanks for any help. mike.

You should be careful executing JavaScript functions as the page loads, in that you need to make sure that any elements or procedures that the function is trying to access have already been written to the browser. A very popular way to execute a JavaScript function on page load is to place the function in the onLoad event handler which is placed in the body tag. So here are your two options.

Anywhere in the body of the HTML you can write this.

Code:

<script Language="JavaScript">  </script>

That will execute the function at the moment it is written to the page. Of course, you must have already written the function on the page, usually between the <head></head> tags.

Or you can do this.

Code:

<body ..blah.. ..blah.. onLoad="ViewInvenWO('<%=loRecordset("wo_num")%>')">

Now, I noticed that you have double quotes around the parameter that you are passing to the function. This is fine, but I changed them to single quotes which works just the same. If you want the function to treat the passed parameter as a number, remove the single quotes alltogether.

Hope this helps
