How to Get ASP to run code at ASP load stage

HebieBug · Sep 10, 2001

Am using VBSCRIPT in my ASP code and would like it so that when the ASP page loads it runs the code before it displays the HTML segment
Just as an example how can I get it to show the message box before loading
<HTML>
<% msgbox "Test me
DO SOME OTHER STUFF
%>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Just execute the code before the opening <HTML> tag.

If you want to do a client-side message box, you should use javascript.

<%
MsgBox 'something'
%>

will not get processed by the client. I *think* this will popup a message box on the server (since everything between <% %> tags are processed on the server).

Use javascript, and put it at between your head tags.

ex:
<script language="javascript">
alert("This is my message&quot

;
</script>

there are a bunch of good javascript tutorials on the web... those will help you out a whole lot more than my tiny example
