not sure..but any ways did you mean this:
Also use javascript instead of vbscript...
-DNG
Code:
<% @language="vbscript" %>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
sub PopupBox(Title,Msg)
PopupBox=MsgBox(msg, vbOKOnly, Title)
End sub
</SCRIPT>
<%
response.write "Test page" & "<br>"
%>
<script>
PopupBox "blah", "just testing"
</script>
<%
response.write "end"
%>Also use javascript instead of vbscript...
-DNG
The server doesn't do anything to the browser except respond to browser requests.
The response might be a script that the browser interprets as a command to show an alert or confirmation... but that is really the choice of the browser as to wheter to actually obey the command. If JavaScript is disabled then the browser will ignore the command or, if you write the script in VBScript then some browsers might not even attempt to run it.

Ok that works great
How do I refresh the page so it reloads.
this does not work
<script>
PopupBox "blah", "just testing"
</script>
<% response.redirect "samepagename.asp"%>
I see your point Sheco
I am going to be the only one using this page and it works in my browser IE6 with the current settings.

after you click ok on the msgbox...any code after the script resumes...so your redirect works after clicking ok in the msg box...

it does nothing
the code you helped me with happens after the page is posted to
If UCase(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_METHOD")) = "POST" Then
<SCRIPT>
PopupBox "User Already Exists","Please key in another user"
</SCRIPT>
<%
response.redirect "add_logon.asp"
%>
<%else%>
‘show the form
<form name="myForm" action="<%=ADD_LOGON%>" method="POST">
</form>
<%end if%>
Nothing shows up I guess because it’s still in POST mode. Is there a way to make it not in POST mode?
The only way I know how to do this is close the browser and rekey in the page so it loads new, clicking refresh on the browser does not work either. I'm not sure I understand how pages work I came from VB6 and VBA.

Ok now it passes by the popup altogether and just refreshes the page
Argh!!!
if I rem out
response.redirect it pops up the message box and leaves the page blank
if I put it back it ignores the popup and refreshes the page
So the server side script over rides the client side?

here is the thing...server side script executes first and then the client side script is executed.
so for the task you are trying to accomplish...you need to do a redirect with in the client side script...
