ASP include files in javascript[resolved]

[thebloke]

Guys

Is it possible to execute asp code held in an include file from javascript?

I need to pass some validation before the asp code is executed and a form is submitted.

Cheers

Yes, perhaps, using XMLHTTP, but you'd have to elaborate on what you mean by 'pass some validation'...

I just want to know can I execute some server side code from javascript?

[mendhak]

You can execute a whole page, passing it querystrings and everything, through XMLHTTP.

You cannot directly call ASP functions from client-side JavaScript, if that's what you mean. (Although Mozilla has a SOAP extension that does exactly that.)

[thebloke]

Right, I don't know anything about xmlhttp or soap so I'm kind of scuppered.

[thebloke]

Ok, here's a slightly different angle.

Can I execute a javascript function using asp? For example

<%if x > 0 then
 
return thisfunction();
 
end if%>

Never mind, I've sorted it.
