Is it possible to use a variable as an index to a server side created array in a client side vbscript? I can access the array by using e.g. array(1,2) but not by using array(r,c). I can use variables created on the server side but am unable to increment them on the client side. Is this possible?
Thank you
 
Not directly like that, no. :-(

Communication between client and server is done via requests and responses, which require a reload of the page. You can make your server side code actually write out the client side code (thereby making it dynamic, too), but in order to send a message back to the server, you'll need to reload the page.

The only exception to that rule is remote scripting, which I don't give advice on since I have never used it. It allows you to communicate w/o reload, but seems to me to be pretty complicated (at best).

There is a good (IMHO) FAQ over in the vbScript forum that member Swany and myself collaborated on that tries to explain in a bit more detail what I've gone into here. Maybe that might make a good read.
