Convert Javascript function to ASP (vbscript)

mattscotney · Sep 15, 2002

Hi all I am having a few problems converting the following javascript function to ASP (written in VBscript):

function show()
{
z = window.open();
z.document.write('<pre>' + repl('<html>\n' + document.documentElement.innerHTML + '\n</html>'));
z.document.close();
}

I have the repl() function under control, it is only the above portiion which is providing problems.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

When you say ASP (vbScript) are you meaning server side (like most ASP), or client side (like JavaScript)? Einstein47

Server side

Tarwn · Sep 16, 2002

Opening new windows and closing windows and the like is a client side operation. Sionce the server-side code is running on the server it does not have any control over what is going on on the screen of the client machine. In order to open windows etc you will need to keep your javascript up above or switch to client side VB, you will not be able to do this server side.
