Simple VBScript Question

[martim07]

Hi,

I need to have a text area open up when a user clicks on a selection in a drop-down menu. I already have my database connected through ASP, and I have the information I want populating the textarea, I just need to know the function. Would this be assigned to the onClick event of the button?

Thank you

You'd have to store the information in a Javascript variable, then onclick="document.forms['formname'].elements['textareaname'].value=variablename;"

Thanks!

But what about the VBScript onClick event?

I used Javascript in my example. I haven't used VBScript client side on web pages, but it should be something like:

onclick="document.forms[""formname""].elements[""textareaname""].value=variablename"

You'd have to store the information in a VBScript variable on the web page then.

If there's ANY chance someone will be using a browser other than Internet Explorer, VBScript won't work for them.

Just for clarification, the onclick event is NOT language oriented/specific. It can be handled by Javascript or VBScript, and the syntax is the only thing that is significant in calling the specific language function.
