What does myfile.asp return and what does it do?

[alawra]

myfile.asp contains code to search database and get data from the data base.
and i need output in the html file!!!!!

I don't see why you include it in your <script> tag then...

If you don't want to use frames, how about an IFRAME to include that asp page?

[alawra]

what i need
to run the myfile.asp and get the ip address and then seach the data base for the country of visitor and then display it in the html file
and i know that i could use iframs but if possible i need to include the file like this one
<script language="Javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/myfile.asp?tmp=const."></script>

but when i use this code i get an error
and when i use there code it gave ok.

so what is the problem?

they use script language="Javascript" but they use asp file how this happen!!

ASP Include file is designed for things just like this, there is no need to use anything else.

Search for asp include file in 4guysfromrolla.com you will find plenty example.

Ooops sorry, didnt see the "HTML" bit. Must you use HTML, if you have an asp extension then you can easily do it with include file.

Also the src of JavaScript file must be a JS file meaning the content of the code must be Client Side JavaScript. You are trying to load asp file as client side JavaScritp, that wont work.

I can only think of one way of doing it if you cant use Frame/iFrame or ASP page. That will be by using MSXMLHTTP object. You coud have that in client side and then use that to read the asp file and print it out using client side javascript. That will be like trying to kill a fly with a cannon, but if you insist thats the only possible way i can think of.

Because ASP is server side technology, where as the js the way you are using it is client side. ASP Code is executed on the server so when you have a asp file you can include any other asp file.

Here is an example of XMLHTTP :http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/110100-1.shtml

This example is used in serverside, you can use the same object in client side using JavaScript, search you will fnd example.

Hope this helps.

I was going to suggest XMLHTTP but decided against it... as long as there was another option, would have been better.
