[jQuery] Re: Error getting value from server
Sorry for the spam. Actually my issue is that I am trying to keep my html file neat and tidy by putting all my javascript code in a separate js file. But my javascript code refers to some server side variable values which exists in an asp file. I have included that asp file in my main asp file along with the js file. But the js file dosn't seems to get server variable values. Here is a broad view of my code. mainpage.asp -- !--#include virtual = /mywebsite/child1.asp -- -- script type=text/javascript src=child1.js/script child1.asp -- CONST myvar = 100 child1.js -- alert(%= myvar%); But alert is giving error. Please advice change in the code if any. I can put the alert code in mainpage.asp too, but that will make my asp page full of javascript functions. I want to keep mainpage.asp clean. Thanks for the response. On Dec 10, 12:25 pm, brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Please keep your threads tidy. Don't spam the list with the same question.

[jQuery] Re: Error getting value from server
What I tend to do in this instance is keep all but config options in an
external js file.
The at the top of my jsp (applicable to ASP as well) page I have a Global
Config oject
var ApplicationConfig = {
sessionId : c:out value=${sessionId} default:'null'/,
otherValue : c:out value=${otherValue} default:'null'/,
}
Then in my sepearte JS file I can use these via ApplicationConfig.sessionId.
It permits dynamic variables while keeping most of the Javascript off the page.

Your IIS server sees as request for .js (and .css and .html etc
etc) and passes it right back to the client as *plain text*, there is

variable values which exists in an asp file. I have included that asp
file in my main asp file along with the js file. But the js file
dosn't seems to get server variable values. Here is a broad view of my

mainpage.asp
-- !--#include virtual = /mywebsite/child1.asp --
-- script type=text/javascript src=child1.js/script
child1.asp
-- CONST myvar = 100
Is it CONST or VAR? It's probably not worth sidetracking you at this point
but,
anyway ...
child1.js
-- alert(%= myvar%);
I think you need to step back and re-think this process. Your
child1.js file is not read by
the ASP interpreter. Thus, your %= % tags are meaningless therein.
The only thing
that reads that JS file is whatever browser that downloaded it. And
its JS engine doesn't know
or care about myvar.
What you should be aiming for is to have ASP (on the server) write
some text which will be
sent to the browser where it will (hopefully) be interpreted by the
browser's JS engine.
So:
child1.asp (let's say myservervalue = 'foobar')
---
// this should look something like the following:
// (is this even a real ASP comment?)
script type=text/javascript
var myvalue = %= myservervalue %;
/script
script type=text/javascript src=child1.js/script
The ASP script will (again, hopefully) resolve the %= myservervalue
% to some string. When the browser
fetches the page its JS interpreter will see:
var myvalue = foobar;
Accordingly, the page will now have a variable named, myvalue which
is, foobar.
child1.js
alert(myvalue);
The variable that was declared is called, myvalue not %= myvalue
%. We're on the Javascript Ranch
now. No need for the flappy tags. You should see a bright, shining
foobar alert.
If the page reaches the browser and it still has the % % business
(view source), it's not working.
