I want to call a VBScript Sub thru a link so I use this code

<A HREF="" onClick="vbscript:PopUp">

I add HREF in to make it look like a link (and I wont just change the font and underline it 'cuz of CSS)
but when I click the link it reloads the default page in that directory, what fo I use to make this do
"nothing"

And another Q.... How do i display HTML code on a web page?

Thanks and Regards
Simon

use something like this...
</TABLE>
That will display </TABLE>

You might also want to try the <PRE></PRE> tags.....though I am not sure they will do what you want.

I get......

" Type mismatch 'popup' "

You can do this:

<a href="#" onClick="vbscript:PopUp">Click me</a>

Here is neat chunk of code to do just that.

<%
Dim oFS, oStream, sText, sFileName
Set oFS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sFileName = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Script")
sFileName = ServerMapPath(sFileName)
Set oStream = oFS.OpenTextFile(sFileName)
sText = oStream.ReadAll()
oStream.Close
%>
<html>
<body>
<pre>
<%=sText%>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

what was that??.. ASP?

anoop007 · Apr 5th, 2001, 01:51 AM

and Simon.. why won't you use CSS??.. started hating CSS,bcoz of me? :P

chenko · Apr 6th, 2001, 11:59 AM

Huh? CSS? how can I use that for what I want?

And yes it is ASP Anoop, but mind me saying, that code was a waste of space!

Wynd: The # sorta works, but I moves it to the top of the page

Is there anyother way I can do this?

anoop007 · Apr 6th, 2001, 08:55 PM

**Wynd** · Apr 6th, 2001, 10:30 PM

Yeah, what anoop said, try this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="vbscript:PopUp">

**Wynd** · Apr 6th, 2001, 10:31 PM

Seems like there is something sticking a space in there...

Cheeky bugger, You had to show off an post It to didnt you!!

Cheers!

**sail3005** · Apr 7th, 2001, 12:04 PM

i think you have to send it 0 like Wynd said though. Becausing voiding 0 does nothing.

chenko · Apr 7th, 2001, 04:03 PM

Its works with out the Zero anyways

Cheers guys!

**sail3005** · Apr 7th, 2001, 05:45 PM

Thats cool, i did not know that

I found another way to display HTML code on your page, if you are using ASP, you can do this:

<%=Server.HTMLEncode("<table>")%>

It will embed it as <table> in your HTML, resulting in the display of <table>.

Poor me!! just 170 odd posts.. hehe

In javascript, you can "return false" to the onClick event to process script without processing the link.

Code:

<a href="page.html" onClick="return MyFunction()">Boost Your Post Count</a>

chenko · Apr 9th, 2001, 09:14 AM

Well its not a function and Ive got it sorted

Thanks all!!

......Why do all my questions suddenly appear at the top making me look like a dumb ass! ??
