Passing Values from ASP to Javascript

jfrost10 · Jan 24, 2002

Hey guys,

I have an asp.net page, which also has an asp.net listbox and an html button. When the html button is pressed, I need the selected item text to be passed to a javascript function which then opens a new window.

Question: How can I pass a value from an asp control to a javascript function? I know this is an old-school asp forum, but I figured you guys might have more experience with this sort of thing than us code-behind boys would.

Thanks guys,

Jack

Not familiar with .Net stuff yet, but I would think it would be the same or similar...

<%
Dim msg
msg = "This is a test message!"
%>
<html>
<head>
<script language='javascript'>
<!--
function tellMe(){
alert("<%= msg%>&quot

;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="tellMe()">

</body>
</html>
