Hi,

I have an asp page with a form.
A user enters a serial number in a text box.

I want to add a button next to the text box such as 'Check Serial' to
run some SQL in the background to see if that serial exists in the
table, and then output 'Serial found' or 'Serial Not Found' next to
the text box, so the user can decide whether to continue with the
form.


Appreciate your help.



Thanks


David

Using VB and ADO I have stored proc that checks for a value and give
the return value. And kicks off the event onBlur

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">
Public Sub getID(id)
Dim cn: Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Dim cmd: Set cmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Dim rs: Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

'cn.Open "db.udl"
cn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=[Password];Persist
Security Info=True;User ID=[UserID];Initial Catalog=[Database];Data
Source=[Server Name]"
cn.CursorLocation = 3
cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
cmd.CommandType = 4

cmd.CommandText = "[dbo].[View:GetID]"
cmd.Parameters.Append (cmd.CreateParameter ("@ID",3, 1, 0,
Null ))
cmd.Parameters.Item("@ID").Value = id
rs.Open cmd

If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox id & " is not a valid ID.", vbOkOnly, "Error"
document.all("WorkoutID").Value = ""
document.all("WorkoutName").innerHTML = ""
Else
document.all("WorkoutID").Value = id
document.all("WorkoutName").innerHTML =
rs.Fields.Item("Topic")

End if
End Sub
</SCRIPT>


<input name="WorkoutID" size="5" type="text"
onblur="vbscript:getId(WorkoutID.value)">

Dangerous! You do realize this is all visible to the user simply via
View|Source ??

Also can just do async calls with it.

But your example shows it in a client-side script element.
At least now you are aware of the desirability to do this in server-side
code,

And why is this relevant? If it is in client-side script, the user can see
it, whether async calls are done with it or not.
