Can I execute a javascript in ASP. 1

[ret]

I am trying to pass a error message from ASP than execute a javascript to display the error message.

Can I do this? [sig][/sig]

The practice is to write your ASP(or vbscript) to include the proper message in your javascript app.

The server then will in theory :

1: select the correct alert() message
2: compile creating the alert(message) statement in the proper formatting
3: All HTML and JavaScript is them passed to the users browser for processing and alert. [sig][/sig]

just like so:

<script>
alert(&quot;<%=errormess%>&quot
</script>

where errormess was calculated above...

I tried this small test and it does not seem to work.

<%
dim asptemp
asptemp = &quot;hello&quot;
%>

<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
var jstemp;
jstemp = '<%=asptemp%>';
alert(jstemp);
</script> [sig][/sig]

Your example worked for me (it should work for you). Did you execute the .asp via a http call or simply try to double click on the asp file (that won't work)

That's my problem.
