How to display an error message in the user's browser window

[radhika]

Hi there,
I have a class with a bunch of property procedures and methods. I have an update method which updates the information modified by a user from an ASP page. I want to give a meaningful message to the user in the browser if the update succeeds or fails. Can anyone educate me as to how to do this.

Thanks,
Radhika

if you have vb6, explore the DHTML Application and IIS Application project types (File, New Project, select type, click OK, head for MSDN)

these projects let you send things to the browser in realtime, but its only worth the trouble for an internet based program.
