Message box in ASP

Is it possible to make a message box using ASP? I have tried to use the same syntax as in VB but it doesn't work.

Code:

---

MsgBox "This is a test", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Test"

Yes you can display a message like this :
<script language="vbscript">
sub fn1()
msgbox ("<%response.write("your message")%>")
end sub
</script>

And you have to call this function when you want to display the message

if you want to display okcancel buttons or so like in vb just assign it to a variable as in vb.

dim msg
msg=msgbox ("<%response.write("your message")%>", vbokcancel)

You cannot use msgbox on client in ASP as ASP is server-side technology. If you use a msgbox it will display on the server and halt all executition until it is cleared.

You can use a client side msgbox, as kirankumar has described.

This wouldnt happen, you would just get an error message :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Permission denied: 'msgbox'

blah blah blah...

You can change the permissions though so it does occur.
