Hi folks

Does anyone know what the error message in the subject line means? If I need to post more info I will, but I'm looking for a general explanation.

Thanks

Ben

Sure thing....

<%@ LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot; %>

<body>
Hi <%=Request.form(&quot;Cardnum&quot;)%>! Your PIN is <%=Request.form(&quot;PIN&quot;)%>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = &quot;vbscript&quot;>
<!--
Alert &quot;CrdNum is a type &quot; &amp; VarType(Request.form(&quot;Cardnum&quot;)) &amp; &quot; Variant and strPIN is a type &quot; &amp; VarType(Request.form(&quot;PIN&quot;)) &amp; &quot;Variant.&quot;
-->
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>

Ben

P.S. to see why I need this script, see my other post from this morning...

Hi,
this ones simple. You have used the request object in a client-side script. The client does not have any notion of the ASP environment so what you want to do cannot be done in the manner that you want.
What you might do is return the data you want to show in the alert in some hiiden fields and then use that to populate the alert.

or you could use the same thing you did before with the
<%=...%>
and do something like:
alert(&quot;CrdNum is a type &quot; + '<%=VarType(Request.form(&quot;Cardnum&quot;))%>' + ....

that way you won't have to worry about hidden fields and such

sorry, I gave you javascript syntax. It should be:
Alert &quot;CrdNum is a type&quot; &amp; &quot;<%=VarType(Request.form(&quot;Cardnum&quot;))%>&quot; &amp; ....
