Calling a vbscript function within a javascript even onUnload

biktoryah · Mar 14, 2003

function hello()
{
var x;
x = "<%call unsetFlagUpdate(strAccntNum)%>";

return true;

}

<body onUnload="hello();">

i have tried using this code but unfortunately when the page loads it already calls the unsetFlagUpdate vbscript function even though the hello() javascript function has not been called yet..is there another way that you could suggest where in i call a vbscript function on the onunload event of javascript?

thanks a bunch,

Server side code is always executed before client-side. The only way to call a server-side function from client side is to use either Remote-Scripting. Here is a great article on that technology:

Another way is to re-write the function client-side and execute it. Maybe you can show me the unsetFlagUpdate function and I can maybe suggest something better.

Function unsetFlagUpdate(strAccnt)

aConnectionString = "File Name=" & onRequestConnection()

set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection&quot

conn.Mode = adModeReadWrite
conn.ConnectionString = aConnectionString
conn.open

strSQL = "Update TBLCACS " _
& "set FlagUpdate = 0 " _
& "where CARDNUMBER = '" & strAccnt & "'"

conn.execute strSQL,,adCmdText

end Function

here's the unsetFlagUpdate function...tnx in advance..
