Javascript: Can't you have VB script in it??

[dude131]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a javascript function that has some VB script... but it seems as once the page loads the VB script is executed without a call to the function. Is this not possible... how can I make it happen??

-------------------------------------------------------
function rotate(srcimage,direction){
n=n+direction;
if (n==allImages) n=0;
if (n==-1) n=allImages-1;

<%
if not rsProdSpecs.EOF then
rsProdSpecs.MoveNext
eProdImage = rsProdSpecs("img")
else
end if
%>


document.images[srcimage].src="images/productImages/<%=eProdImage%>";

}

-------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!

That's because the javascript is a CLIENT side script while the VBScript is a SERVER side script (ala ASP).... the server side scripting always runs first and sends the output to the browser... then and only then would the breowser be able to run the javascript.

based on what I see in the code there, I'm not sure what the problem is.

Not entirely true. VBScript is also a client-side scripting language in Internet Explorer (and only Internet Explorer, so it's not a terribly wise choice of client side language).

Although, the <% ... %> syntax suggests ASP to me. As techgnome points out you need to be clear on the difference between server side/client side scripting.
