1. Yes do something like this:-
if login = false then
response.write "<script language=""Javascript"">window.open(...)</script>" &
VbCrLf
else
'build logged in page here
end if
2. Are the subs and functions used anywhere else within your application? If they are,
place them in either an include file and then include that file in each page that
needs them, or if they're likely to be used on every page you can place them in
global.asa. I tend to go for the include file route over the global.asa route for
things I need on more than one page, but that's just a personal preference.
3. Not that I can think of off the top of my head (other than client-side VBScript,
but that's MSIE only). ASP is server-side, and you want to open a window client-side,
so you will need to use ASP to write out a client-side script as in number 1. Again,
personal preference, but I tend to give the user messages in the main browser window.
This avoids problems with browser which have javascript turned off, or don't support
javascript (such as screen-readers and text browsers etc). It depends on whether you
know that all of your users will have javascript capable and enabled browsers (i.e. in
an intranet situation) or not.

Subject: [AspClassicAnyQuestionIsOk] Newbie to asp - call javascript function from
vbscript?
Hi All:
In my login routine, if the second try is not succesful, I would
like to open a new window with a message to the user "UN & PWD not
found, call XXX for instructions." In Danny Goodman's "Dynamic HTML"
I found Javascript code to open a new window & write some content to
it. Questions:
1 - Can you call a Jscript function from within vbs? How should I
insert this Jscript code after testing for the UN & Pwd in vbscript?
2 - I have a number of vbscript procs & functions that I am calling
in this process. Is it best to place these in Global.asa or in an
include file or on the page using the procs?
3 - Regarding opening a new (small) window to give the user a set
message(i.e., no need to generate it dynamically), is there another
way to do it other than creating it on the fly in JScript?
Many thanks,
Alan
