| As I'm relativley new to ASP and VBscript, could someone explain (or point
me to) how
client side VBscript works on an ASP page. In particular, I have an ASP page
that has a body with a form. I want to create a function to return the value
of a text field. I would like to call the function with the onsubmit event.
But alas, I get all kinds of errors. Any direction would be helpful.
Also, when an ASP page loads with a form element and VBscript code, which
executes first? The script or the form?

| Client side VBScript works intermittently in an ASP page. That is because it
is only supported by IE. If you want your client-side script to work in all
browsers, use JavaScript. As to "how" it works, well, it's magic. Actually,
I just have no idea what "how [it] works" means. Also, you say you want to
"create a function to return the value of a text field." Return it to where?
For what purpose?

As the form doesn't "execute," and you didn't specify whether you're talking
about client-side or server-side VBScript, that questin can't be answered as
stated.
Programming does not in any way involve guesswork. One should be acquainted
with the technology, and how it works, before writing a single line of code.
Programming is precise. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Your question indicates that you have only a vague idea of what ASP is, and
how it works. That's not a good starting point for writing a program.
Finally, this is a Visual Studio newsgroup. If you have questions about ASP,
visit microsoft.public.Inetserver.asp.general.
