There are 5 ways that I know of to allow a user to cause server-side code to
execute by clicking a button:
1. Traditional form submission: the button submits the form to an asp page
containing the server-side code on the server, causing a page reload or a
new page to be displayed
2. Again: form submission, but using an IFrame in the target attribute of
the FORM tag, which will allow you to submit the form without unloading the
page.
3. Remote scripting - this has been deprecated, but many people still use
it. Do a Google search to find more information. Or look it up at
msdn.microsoft.com/library
4. If you do not need results returned from the server-side code, you could
use an IMG element, setting its src property to the url of the asp page
containing the server-side code
you wish to run
5. You can use the XMLHTTP (aka XMLHTTPRequest) object - again, you can find
info via Google or at msdn.microsoft.com/library
Do some research and decide which method you wish to use. Options 2-5 all
involve some client-side programming, making it off-topic in this newsgroup.
You should post any request for further information about these options
(after doing your own research
first, of course <grin> ) to the appropriate client-side coding newsgroups:
look for groups with "dhtml" in their names, or simply use the
..scripting.jscript newsgroup.
