pass ASP variable to JScript

[xghoulx]

serverside:

this is the only method i found for splitting a QueryString in ASP... but now i need to use that variable in my javascript function... thanks


<%
Dim imdbLink
ID = Request.QueryString("u")
ID_split = Split(ID, "/title/")
imdbLink = ID_split(1)
%>

<script language="javascript" runat="server">
Response.Write(imdbLink);
</script>

You'll need to "write" the value into the javascript:


<%
Dim imdbLink
ID = Request.QueryString("u")
ID_split = Split(ID, "/title/")
imdbLink = ID_split(1)
%>

<script type="text/javascript">
var imdbLink = "<%= imdbLink %>";
...
</script>

Dim imdbLink
ID = Request.QueryString("u")
ID_split = Split(ID, "/title/")
imdbLink = ID_split(1)
%>

<script type="text/javascript">
var imdbLink = "<%= imdbLink %>";
...
</script>

that's if I want it sent back to the Client... this is for ServerSide JavaScript... so that won't work :( already tried it.

figured it out... lots of different things come into play here

first off i didnt have a language tag uptop

<%@LANGUAGE="JavaScript"%>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">
Dim imdbLink

If Request.QueryString("u") = "" Then
imdbLink = "error"
Else
ID = Request.QueryString("u")
ID_split = Split(ID, "/title/")
imdbLink = ID_split(1)
End if
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" RUNAT="Server">

Response.Write(imdbLink);

</SCRIPT>


i read that only one script language can be used at a time.. so you must set the top to the main one you want to use... then have a your vbscript above and the rest has to be javascript. weird to understand at first but if you wanted to call javascript vars from VB you would have to reverse whats up there.
