DOM methods using ASP classic

[sameasin]

Hi,

Wanted to alter the text using the DOM innerHTML property in a ASP Classic script. Any pointers please...

Are you looking to use Client-Side VB Scripting to modify the DOM after the page renders or to modify what the HTML is that is sent to the browser?

For example,
Server-Side:
You may have a DIV that shows the user's name which you have in a session variable, or the text "Please log in":

<div id="uName">
<&#37; If Session("Name") <> "" Then %>
    <%=Session("Name")%>
<% Else %>
    Please Log In
<% End If %>
</div>

There is no such thing as client-side VBscript. It's a server-side language. You need to use Javascript to change the loaded DOM

Client side VBScript does (did) exist.

I haven't seen anyone use it in years and only IE supports (supported?) it. I left my reply open to the possibility that the OP actually knew what they were talking about, but with a nudge toward the more probable solution.

True, I suppose in the real-development world, it doesn't exist. I mean who develops for IE only?
