HTML command button setup

[FoxT2]

Hi,

I am working with a HTML page and am trying to get a command button to execute this string...

"<%= oProp.ScriptPath+[?action=thanks] %>"

I have tried it like this...
<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button" name="Button1" onclick="<%= oProp.ScriptPath+[?action=iepthanks] %>">

But it does not work.

In an example that I have it does work using a submit button like this..

<form name="theform" method="post" action="<%= oProp.ScriptPath+[?action=thanks] %>" ID="Form1">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" ID="Submit1" style="Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 592px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 144px"></P>

But I really don't want to have to do it that way. Anyone know if this is possible to do?

Thanks,
FoxT

It looks like you're trying to mix uninterpreted ASP with HTML. If you're not running this through a web server of some kind, I'd guess it probably won't work.

You're mixing client-side code (javascript or vbscript) that can be executed by the browser with the server-side code that is run on the server. You cannot do that. You need to do it the way it is done in your latter example.

I think

<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button" name="Button1" onclick="location.href='<%= oProp.ScriptPath+[?action=iepthanks] %>'">

Is what you're looking for.

all i have added is the location.href=
the onclick attribute expects a javascript expression, and you were just passing it a url.

Hope it helps!

(Yes it is possible to mix client and server side scripts, ASP.NET web forms rely on it, and so does AJAX)

Nope. That's not the HTML output. Run the page through your web server, choose View, then Source, and copy and paste what you find THERE.

Yes I see what you mean, its referenicing the file on the filesystem, not over http.

The property you need to use is the "REQUEST_URI" http request header. not sure how in ASP mind.

<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button" name="Button1" onclick="location.href='<%=Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")%>'>

i Misseda bit:

<INPUT id="Button1" type="button" value="Button" name="Button1" onclick="location.href='<%=Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")+'?action=iepthanks'%>'>

Andeee,

Why would you want to introduce JavaScript into an HTML solution when not necessary?

BVecause he asked for a solution using the onClick="" attribute of the input element. As this attribute requires a javascript expression as its value, I added it in.
