user action on key stroke

[ccampbell]

I have created and opened and executed a task on an object in my asp code like below

set obj = Server.CreateObject("....")
obj.Open (... , ...)
obj.Exec (task1)

I need the user to be able to click a button or perform a keystroke that will execute "task2" on that same object. I am having problems figuring out how to do this. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance

If it is ASP code then it executes on the server... but user events like keystrokes execute in the browser.

I understand that, but is there a way to take a browser action like a button click or a key stroke and execute a task on an object that I have created server side?

You can use xmlhttp request to an asp page within which you execute something, but if you said "execute a task on [blue]an object that I have created server side[/blue]" then you have to have a means to retrieve a persistent reference to that object like session variable. You have to read more on your own.
