Calling a Server Side function from an onclick event?

[princessk1]

Is it possible to call a server side function in an onclick event for a submit button? If I put the function between <script> tags, it will go into the function, but it won't if the function is between <% %> tags?

This is part of the code that calls the function:

<input type = &quot;Submit&quot; value = &quot;Save Sales Amount&quot; onclick = SaveSales>

where SaveSales is the name of the function.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure that won't work because the onclick is client side and the function server side.

in the 'action' page of your form you could detect if your 'Save Sales Amount' button was pressed and execute the server side function depending on that.

just a thought

There are two ways I know of to get a server side process to execute from a client's machine. There are Microsoft tools (XMLHttp) that became available with MDAC 2.5. Of course, that would require the client to have them installed. Not easy to have happen.

The easiest method is to use a form and submit the page, then you redirect back to the page with the new data processed.
