Remote Scripting 1

[itflash]

Hi all

Need some help please.


I want to link two combo boxes (ADO Record Sets) but dont want to submit the form every time. So thought I could use remote scripting.

However, what I do not understand is the different syntax that appears when using the client side script and also what the object ASP passes back. What I need is an example of how remote scripting works so I can link my two combo boxes effectivley by passing data between them.

Does such an example exists? I cannot find one anywhere.


Any help will be much appreciated as I am well and truly stuck.


Thanks

I'd like to know this also, but I would prefer VBScript. The link gives an example of JavaScript. Rob
Just my $.02.

rtshort - the reason they selected Javascript for the client-side processing is because not all browsers support VBScript, specifically Netscape, unless support was introduced in a recent version and I've yet to hear about it. I would recommend you follow suit.

If you choose not to, then you simply have to convert the JS to VBS - which, most of the time, can be done. Jon Hawkins
