I am a VB programmer, trying to learn ASP. In my project, I am checking that a certain text box has been filled in, and I would like to have a message box appear if its not filled in, telling user to fill in that box. Can this be done? I tried coding as I would in VB, but it doesn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

dear allyeric,<br><br>I don't work with VBScript, however, I would be surprised if it is not supported.<br><br>Javascript support is provided in the widest range of browsers so it is the obvious choice for client side scripts. If you use VBScript your script can only be executed by browsers that support it. Beyond IE I don't even know if any others do.<br><br>As a forum etiquette note, the 'HTML/DHTML' forum would be a more appropriate choice for client side scripting questions.<br><br>Hope this helps<br>-pete
Pete's right. You can use VBScript in your client side scripts if you want, but if you do, you're limiting your audience to those using Internet Explorer. If you want to support Opera, Netscape, etc. you'll have to use Javascript. <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto:nick@bulka.com>nick@bulka.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Opera is a browser written by a Scandinavian company. Their claim to fame is that the download is small, and the browser is 100% W3C compliant, and very fast. It also has an MDI interface, which means you can have multiple urls loaded into the browser at the same time. It's not free, however. I think it costs about $35. There's a public beta of Opera 4.0 going on right now. <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto:nick@bulka.com>nick@bulka.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
