Calling subs in a linked .vbs

[Bixarrio]

Hi,

How do i call subs that's in a linked .vbs file.

I used:

<SCRIPT language=vbscript src='scripts.vbs'></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=vbscript>
  Dim p
  p = &quot;Hello world!&quot;
  'ShowMe is a procedure in the linked script above
  ShowMe p
</SCRIPT>

I get a type mismatch 'ShowMe'

???HELP

I have not used this form before. What do the parameter definitions look like.

I've never tried this, but just looking at it, I'd guess that you'd want to move your stuff to the following:

<SCRIPT language=vbscript src='scripts.vbs'>
Dim p
p = &quot;Hello world!&quot;
'ShowMe is a procedure in the linked script above
ShowMe p
</SCRIPT>

Of course, this is just my guess.

[ alistairpaul ] - No, I've tried that. It still doesn't work.

[ JohnYingling ] - Uhm. The top example was just that: an example. I used the same format as always:
This is the linked script:

Sub ShowMe(ByVal text)
  Document.Write &quot;<B>&quot; & text & &quot;</B>&quot;
End Sub

All it does is put bold tags around the parameter.

This is the call again:

<SCRIPT language=vbscript src='scripts.vbs'></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=vbscript>
  Dim p
  p = &quot;Hello world!&quot;
  'ShowMe is a procedure in the linked script above
  ShowMe p
</SCRIPT>

Okay - Here we go -

SCRIPT FILE FOR &quot;SCRIPT REPOSITORY&quot;: /scripts.vbs

Sub ShowMe(ByVal text)
Document.Write &quot;<B>&quot; & text & &quot;</B>&quot;
End Sub

SCRIPT FILE FOR &quot;MAIN DOCUMENT&quot;: /whatever.html

<SCRIPT language=&quot;VBScript&quot; src=&quot;/scripts.vbs&quot;></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
<!--
Dim p
p = &quot;Hello world!&quot;
document.write p
document.write &quot;<br>&quot;
ShowMe(p)
-->
</SCRIPT>

This worked 100% perfectly for me. Good luck!
