How do I Call a function from ASP or HTML

claws2rip · Sep 4, 2002

If I have a fucntion in vb script or java script, how can i call that function from inside ASP.

ex:

on page1 a user enters information and then clicks on "Save"
by clicking on "save", page2 in invoked .
In page2, which the user never sees I use ASP to call the Dll and then I want to call a script function that displays a msgbox to the user indicating whether the data has saved or not.

All i really need is how to call the script after the data is saved without having the user click on anything.

If you want to use a message box you can do the following:

Code:

<%
'Your ASP here
%>
<html>
<body onLoad=&quot;alert('Your data has been saved!');&quot;>
</body>
</html>

Message boxes are client-side only, you cannot directly invoke a messagebox from asp without sending at least minimal html. I don't really understand how the user "never sees" page 2, so I might be able to give better advice if you explain that a little better.

sorry about the confusion, i should have tried to explain it better

i found out what i needed, here it is:

blnUpdateRecord=myObj.UpdateRecord(x, y, z)

if blnUpdateRecord=true then
%>
<script=javascript>
alert("Record has been saved&quot

</script>
<%
end if

Thank you for your help
