Can I pass an array from the server to my page?

[bigfoot]

Note: without doing it in the url, as it will be about 30 pairs.

are they stored in a database? jared@aauser.com -

Yes, I am getting 3 pairs of data out of a database. The door to life is never locked, but few have the knowledge to open it.

then just print it to the page...

var x = new Array();
<%
while(!rs.EOF)
{
%>
x[x.length] = <%=rs(&quot;fieldname&quot.VaLUE%>
<%
}
%> adam@aauser.com

How do I get the data in the first place out of the database? I can't read it off the server can I? The door to life is never locked, but few have the knowledge to open it.

 

[luciddream]

oh.. i thought you had that part handled....


well, for that you'll have to use some sort of SS language, asp, perl, or something... adam@aauser.com

I do, but can I make an asp array and pass it to a JS array???

How do I marry the two? The door to life is never locked, but few have the knowledge to open it.

you'll have to print it put on the page...

x = new Array();
<%
for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
%>
x[x.length] = &quot;<%=array%>&quot;;
<%
}
%>

sorry if you're not using JScript... i'm not too familiar with vbscript... so my example uses jscript... adam@aauser.com

Can I use JavaScript as my client language? This way I can read the db and keep the array in memory, er. no. himmmm
Somebody has had to have done this before!!!

This is driving me nuts X-) The door to life is never locked, but few have the knowledge to open it.

 

[luciddream]

yes.. you can use any client side language you want... you just need to use asp to get the data to the client-side language.... adam@aauser.com

WOW!!!! Now I get it!!
I can write the page in ASP just like I was creating HTML code! I write the javascript code with asp's Response.Write, and the page will execute it!

WOW, this is neat.

Thanks a bunch
