onClick event

[mbutch]

I'm tryling to use VBScript to determine if a user has acrobat reader installed on IE, which I've figured out no prob. The problem is doing something with that information.

In JavaScript I can call a function and pass arguments to it directly in the anchor tag like so:
<a href=&quot;javascript:checkadobe('#coldfusionvariable#');&quot;>
#coldfusionvariable# being the location of the pdf to go to if te user has acrobat reader installed. A differnt #coldfusionvariable# can be set for each anchor tag dynamically when the application gets records from the database.

I'm not very familiar with VBScript, but the only way I was able to do something similar to that was this:
<a href=&quot;javascript...&quot; name=&quot;install&quot; value=&quot;#coldfusionvariable#&quot;>
<script lang...>
sub install_onClick
code...
end sub
</script>
If that is the only way to do it I would have to create a VBS sub process for every single pdf I had a link to on a page, which could be a lot. Is there a way I could use one function like JavaScript to handle all of them? Any suggestions would be greatly appretiated!

Thanks,

Mike

Call it like this (I used an asp variable)

<a id=&quot;check&quot; name=&quot;check&quot; href='VBScript:checkadobe(&quot;<%=stest%>&quot' >Click</a>
<script language=vbscript>
function checkadobe(sVar)
msgbox sVar

end function
</script>

Great, thank you! This is the syntax I used and it worked great:
<a id=&quot;check&quot; name=&quot;check&quot; href='javascript:check_adobe(&quot;#cfvariable#&quot; VBScript:checkadobe(&quot;#cfvariable&quot'>Click</a>
