Hi Guys,

I have to use a JavaScript and VBScript in the same page. In the way that VBScript is calling a JavaScript.

Can anybody tell me how to call a javascript from a vbscript?

Thanx,
Ahmed

You cant call VBScript from javascript,

VBscript is processed by the server before the page is sent, javascript works in the browser when its being viewed.

If you need values from txt fields ect the you have to create a form and submit the information back to the server to be processed.

Probably best to learn a bit more about server side code and client side code.

You can call a JS function from within a VB function or Sub.

<Script Language=JavaScript>
function something(){
alert("hello")
}
</Script>

<Script Language=VBScript>
Function anyThing()
something()
End Function
</Script>

Yes, it can.

<HTML>
<Head>
<Script Language=JavaScript>

function callVB(){

VBFunction();

}

</Script>
<Script Language=VBScript>

Function VBFunction()

MsgBox "Hello"

End Function


</Script>
<Body>
<input type=button value="Call VB" onclick="callVB()">
</Body>
</HTML>

You do know that VBScript is an IE-only scripting language, correct? Almost anything that can be done in VBScript can be done in JavaScript, and JavaScript has many options that VBScript does not. By using VBScript you're making your site inaccessible to over 20% of the web community&mdash;everyone that doesn't use Internet Explorer (statistic from W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp).
