Javascript executes too soon

I have a page that mixes Javascript and VBScript. I do most of my coding in VBScript, but I have to do some in Java because the DTCs are written in Java.
My problem is that the Javascript seems to execute before everything else no matter where I put it. Is there any way to change this or get around it. I just need things to work in a certain order and the Javascript is executing way too early.
BTW: I seem to have to run it on the server because it doesn't like the sessions variables otherwise.

The first line of my code is: <%@ Language=VBScript%>

The Lines that execute too soon are: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>

But even if I do
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>
for the code I want to run sooner the - the Javascript still runs first. It even runs before things I put above the HTML.

So even if you put a runat=&quot;server&quot; VBscript above a runat=&quot;server&quot; Javascript....the javascript runs first?

Do you have the buffer enabled or disabled? -Ovatvvon :-Q

Try disableing it...it should execute the page from top to bottom then.

Let me know. -Ovatvvon :-Q

I took out the Response.Buffer = True and this did not help.
Right below <Body> I put in:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point1: The VBScript.&quot;)
</Script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point2: The JavaScript.&quot;)
</Script>

And I get:
Check Point2: The JavaScript.
[More Javascript]
[Rest of page]
Check Point1: The VBScript.

I change the VBScript to:
<%
Response.write(&quot;Check Point1: The VBScript.&quot;)
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;)
%>

I get:
Check Point2: The JavaScript.
[More Javascript]
Check Point1: The VBScript
[Rest of my page]

I found that if I set <%@ language=&quot;javascript&quot; %>
all the VBScripts execute first and if I do <%@ language=&quot;vbscript&quot; %> all the javascripts execute first. Any way around this?

If you take out the Response.buffer = True...it does not disable it.

If your buffer is enabled through IIS, then it is enabled by default, and you can deactivate it for a page by writing Response.buffer = False. However, if you have it disabled through IIS, you can NOT enable it via script like response.buffer = true.

so, try writing Response.Buffer = False within your page. -Ovatvvon :-Q

Actually when I set Buffer to False the page does not even load. I tried it on a simple page that just mixes VBScript and Javascript and the same thing happens.

I resolved my issue by learning more Javascript that I intended to, and just rewrote the necessary code over in Javascript.

If I you any ideas why it works this way I would love to know.

Here's an example of my test page:
<%@ language=&quot;vbscript&quot; %>

<%
Response.Buffer = False
%>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; Content=&quot;Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0&quot;>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;Server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point1: The VBScript.&quot;)
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;)
Session(&quot;Tester&quot;) = &quot;VBScripter&quot;
</Script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point2: The JavaScript.&quot;);
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;);
Session('Tester') = &quot;JavaScripter&quot;;
</Script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;Server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point3: The VBScript.&quot;)
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;)
</Script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point4: The JavaScript.&quot;);
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;);
</Script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;Server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point3: The VBScript.&quot;)
Response.write(Session(&quot;Tester&quot;))
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;)
</Script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; RUNAT=&quot;server&quot;>
Response.write(&quot;Check Point4: The JavaScript.&quot;);
Response.write(Session('Tester'));
Response.write(&quot;<BR>&quot;);
</Script>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanx
