execute or call client side script on server side

[jewel]

Hi, how can I call a client side script on server side?
one thread here said use response.write("<script language = 'javascript>function Hello() {alert('hello');}</script>") but I tried it and it doesn't work, asp.net doesn't write it as text on the page but it doesn't execute the script too....


please help...

thanks

Use Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock to have the function written to the page, and use

Page.RegisterStartupScript("myscript", "<script language=javascript>Hello();</script>")

to call it.

Hi, this doesn't call the script right? It needs another control that calls it ex. onClick or onLoad...etc...I need something that calls a script inside a code behind procedure...

for example:

public sub Load
 response.write ("hello");
executeScript here....
.
.
.
End sub

In place of "executescript here...." put

Page.RegisterStartupScript("myscript", "<script language=javascript>Hello();</script>")

Thanks...
I put :

 Page.RegisterStartupScript("my", "<script language=javascript>function Hello(){alert('hello');}</script>")

that's why it didn't run...thanks...

Does this mean your problem is solved?

Hi, its me again, what if it's a vbscript?

I tried

Page.RegisterStartupScript("my", "<script language=vbscript>
Call mySubPro</script>")

please help

Does mySubPro exist on the page?

[jewel]

Yes

This is probably related to your other problem... the sub doesn't exist on the page, but you are generating it too.

I'd suggest you either generate it properly or write it directly onto the page.
