asp msgbox syntax problem

[Johntoel]

<%
dim m
m = 1
Response.Write "<script language=""vbscript""> select case MsgBox("" You have been"" & CHR(10) & "" informed!"", vbInformation + vbOkOnly + vbDefaultButton,"" Info"")"&CHR(10)
Response.Write "case vbOK "&"document.location=""yes.asp?id1="&m""" &CHR(10)
Response.Write " end select " & CHR(10) & "</script>"
%>

I have a syntax problem to pass the value of m to yes.asp. Appreciate if someone can help with the correct syntax. Thank's

Is there any reason you are not using Javascript on the client side. This is the more accepted and portable method?

Hi, this is a server side script for displaying msgbox that requires an 'ok' click to redirect to another page, however i need to pass a parameter to that page. That's where I am stuck with the syntax as the value of var. m can't be passed to the next page.

<script language="vbscript">
dim m
m = 1
select case MsgBox(" You have been" & CHR(10) & " informed!", vbInformation + vbOkOnly + vbDefaultButton," Info")
case vbOK document.location="yes.asp?id1="&m
end select
</script>

the above line 'Response.Write "case vbOK "&"document.location=""yes.asp?id1="&m""" &CHR(10)' is a syntax error. I want to the user directed to i.e.:
'http://localhost/mysite/yes.asp?id1=1'
but I don't know how to write ...id1=m
Thank's for trying...

[russell]

did u try the script i posted? it doesn't have the error u are saying. end the asp script tag for the script block...

<%
'' asp code here, then we'll close asp tag to write next few lines
%>
<script language="vbscript">
dim m
m = 1
select case MsgBox(" You have been" & CHR(10) & " informed!", vbInformation + vbOkOnly + vbDefaultButton," Info")
case vbOK document.location="yes.asp?id1="&m
end select
</script>
<%
'' more asp here...
%>

aha, thank's Russell, yes, that's just what I want.

[vanny]

I understand that its a server side script, but you are seeing the response on the client (in a web page). Correct?

[russell]

it's a client side vbScript. that's what his problem was -- trying to mix the 2

[vanny]

I thought so. Ive always steered clear of client side VB to many compatability issues.

Thank's for the info, since I am new in asp I am wondering whether there are other ways to display server script Msgbox or alert function that waits for user confirmation to continue with further processing. Thank's again
