ASP Subs/functions - please

Hello,

How do you declare a function/sub in ASP (NOT VBScript....).
I want to do something like

onclick="email()"
< script language="VBScript">
sub email
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
mailer.fromname = "TEST"
mailer.fromaddress = "myemail.com"
Mailer.RemoteHost = "myremotehost.net"
mailer.addrecipient "Test","YourAddress.com"
mailer.subject = "Testing"
mailer.bodytext = "Hello"
end sub


I get errors like "Server not an object" and "mailer not an object".

Thanks,
T

Code:

---

onclick="email()"
< script language="VBScript">
Sub Emailer()
    set mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") 
    mailer.fromname = "TEST"
    mailer.fromaddress = "myemail.com"
    mailer.RemoteHost = "myremotehost.net"
    mailer.addrecipient "Test","YourAddress.com"
    mailer.subject = "Testing"
    mailer.bodytext = "Hello"
end sub

make sure you have the smtpsvg dlls on the server ect..

Thanks kovan,

Why do I get the error "mailer not an object" (or something like that). Is the code in VBScript the same as ASP?? (Most probably a stupid question...??!!)

How do I do a response.write within this function. I got an error when trying to do a response.write.

I'm just used to writting all my code withing the <% %> tags - never used "< script language="VBScript"> "

thanks,
T

using <% %> is same thing as writing script.....

as far as i know
i never use the script tag
just <%

use <% instead
and use response.write...

why are you getting an error?
i dont know what type of emailer your making
but it seems that it cant create the object

try the generic emailer object..

looks like you are trying to set the object on the actual page itself so when something is clicked it sends the email, as far as I know, you cant do that
the code to send the email needs to be in between <% %> tags and not on the same page as the thing thats clicked
best way would be use a form then when the form is submitted send the email and then show some html saying well done its been sent etc.
