ASP and Script variables

**Wesam** · Jun 25th, 2000, 03:05 PM

Hi all,

I don't know whether I am a the right place or not, anyway, I am here now!
My question is how to assign the value of Script variable to ASP variable, well this question is best understood by an example:

* in 'Process.asp' I have the following:

.
.
Application("UserName") = ""
.
.
<script language=JavaScript>
.
.
var tmpUser
tmpUser = Application("UserName"); <<--- the problem here
.
.
</script>

The problem is that I can't assign the value of a Script variable to ASP variable (and vice versa by the way!).

Can anyone help ??

Thanks in advance,

Poor Wesam !!

What error(s) are you getting?

What exactly are you trying to do?
It looks like you are truing to assign a server-side variable to client-side script

Are you trying to write client side javascript?

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
Application("UserName") = "Mark"


Response.Write "<script language=JavaScript>"
Response.Write "var tmpUser;"
Response.Write "tmpUser ='" & Application("UserName") & "';"
Response.Write "</script> "

%>

</BODY>
</HTML>

or server side?

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
Application("UserName") = "Mark"

%>
<script language=JavaScript runat=server> 
  function XX(){
var tmpUser;
tmpUser = Application("UserName"); 

return tmpUser;
 }
 
</script> 
<%
Response.Write XX()
%>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Or none of these?

Ooh .. that's it, thank you for your help, I reviewed the code in your second example and I found that the problem was in the clause "<script language=JavaScript>" .. I did not specify "RunAt=Server" and that's why my code never worked.

Thanks a lot,

Happy Wesam !
