Can I write two functions to a button?

[tlw432]

Hello all,

I am new to this so I am wondering how I write or if it is possible to write two functions to a button?

Although I realize I should have the user confirming they want to delete the record.
I am not very familiar with the if or else statements.

What I have is an asp page which the code can be viewed at the link below.

http://forums.aspfree.com/asp-devel...orm-values-to-another-page-and-to-295524.html

The button is supposed to delete the record in the database. Which it does, but I would like for it to also send me an email letting me know that the record has been deleted.

Is this best done by calling a JavaScript function? Or how do I achive this? Your help is greatly appreciated. Any suggestions or possibilities!

That would be best done using ASP.

It really has nothing to do with Javascript, or even assigning two functions to a button. Your button just sends the data to the processing script, once the script portion is done deleting the record, that same ASP script should be the one to send the email.

Unless, of course, the OP is writing their ASP using JavaScript - which is my preferred language of choice when writing ASP...

huh? really?

Why would you use one language to write another.

Doesn't sound semantic to me Dan

Hi

Huh ? Dan mentioned only one language there : JavaScript. Note that ASP is not a language.

Most ASP pages are written in VBScript, but any other Active Scripting engine can be selected instead by using the [tt]@Language[/tt] directive or the [tt]<script language="language" runat="server">[/tt] syntax. JScript (Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript) is the other language that is usually available.

ooh, my mistake.

I did the stereotypical thing of assuming they meant the MS web language as you say VBScript.

So I guess PHP is ASP then. nes pas?

PHP is a completely different technology. PHP is a language, while ASP is a technology that can be implemented with several languages.

ASP.NET isn't just VB.NET, either. You can use C#, VB.NET, and JScript.NET (which isn't the same as JScript) for ASP.NET, and probably any other .NET language that's installed on the web server.

I also use Javascript almost exclusively for classic ASP programming, and PerlScript (not Perl) and PythonScript (not Python) is available if the engine is installed on the web server.

well you learn something new everyday!

from what I understand you can use PERL, COBOL and a whole load of other languages via the .NET framework.

I think i'll stick with what i know ;-)

In any case, my point still remains. The script that processes the data, should be the one to send the email. And while you can assign two actions to the button, I would think it be better to have that same script handle both actions.
