Hello,
I am new to ASP and am trying to make some changes to some ASP 3.0 code
I have inherited.
I have a number of ASP pages with VBS as the base language, on each of
these pages I have successfully included a piece of VBS code that
produces output in a table cell by using:
<!--#include file="showAnswers.inc" -->
I have added a new page to the site where the base language is
JavaScript. If I try to use the same include line there it doesn't work
as it correctly detects that the code in the include file is written in
VBScript not JavaScript.
So I tried...
<Script language="VBScript" src="showAnswers.inc" </Script>
The page runs in the browser without error but the code in the include
file isn't included so I don't get the output I expect.
So i try...
<Script language="VBScript" src="showAnswers.inc" RUNAT="server"></Script>
The include now works but the output of the included code appears at the
top of the output, not in the table cell where I want it.
I have no idea how to resolve this. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Jules

weird. i have now run into the same problem. some of my includes work, and
some are not.
i moved the same files into a subweb, and they work there.
wondering what's up with that.

well,
mixing server side javascript and vbscript in the same code is seldom a good
idea
your learning that
best to stick to one or the other I say..
I have fooled around with mixing the two and only got very simple things to
work correctly at best

A poor design choice on the part of the original development.

as it correctly detects that the code in the include file is written in
VBScript not JavaScript.
So I tried...
<Script language="VBScript" src="showAnswers.inc" </Script>
This just tries to run the contents of the include on the client. (Use of
inc extension allows the client to download the file content another poor
choice.)
The page runs in the browser without error but the code in the include
file isn't included so I don't get the output I expect.
So i try...
<Script language="VBScript" src="showAnswers.inc" RUNAT="server"></Script>
I'm suprised this works at all. It normally isn't possible to use an ASP
include as a VBScript source, this include is likely to at least have a
couple of <% %> delimiters which are invalid in VBScript. In order to this
to work these delimiters would need to be removed but then all the other
normal uses of the include would break.
There is another problem with this approach when the specified language
isn't the same as the page language. The content will not be executed in
line but will executed before the rest of the page has been processed.
The include now works but the output of the included code appears at the
top of the output, not in the table cell where I want it.
I have no idea how to resolve this. Can anyone help?
The easiest solution is to stop using JScript as your base language.
If you really must use JScript then the only solution I can see is leave the
page as VBScript and place all your JScript in a:-
<script language="JScript" runat="Server">
..
..
..
</script>
block at the top of your page. Note that this should contain pure Jscript,
no inline HTML, also any code that generates output to the response should
be inside functions. You then call the functions from the pages VBScript
language at the point you need them.
Anthony.
Thanks

I think it is a very viable idea, I use it often.
I use vbs as the main script, and JS only to define certain functions.
Especially small regex test functions are much easier written in JS,
[once you get the hang of it!!!]:
<% 'vbscript main
.......
if NOT testPassword(passw) then ...
%>
<script language='javascript' runat='server'>
// contains at least 1 letter char and 1 number char?
function testPassword(x){
return /\d/.test(x) && /[a-z]/i.test(x)
}
</script>

The position in the file [not "page"] does not matter,
since in a vbs-asp file the JS-runats are executed first anyway.
Note that this should contain pure Jscript,
no inline HTML, also any code that generates output to the response
should be inside functions.
A easy advice, since _inline_ html IN a runat='..' is not possible anyway.
response.write('Hello world'); is possible, but it seems better to stick to
function definitions.

That's interesting point of view. I'm not sure I'd want to ask ASP to run
JScript as well as VBScript for sake of a few lines of code. Also the
JScript implementation of RegExp gets annoying when you want to run a global
match with submatches.

True but since it does get executed first you may as well put it first just
to be clear.

Why do you snear when you are corrected? Bad day, Anthony?
Many mistakes are a result of the misconseption, that ASP-"pages" exist.

As well? I don't think so, I like to have my simple function definitions
at the bottom out of the way, as I treat them as reusable black boxes.
It is a personal preference, which I would advocate as useful.

Isn't advising not to do what is impossible to do anyway a bit strange?

Yeah I kinda snapped seeing yet another 'correction' from of something which
really doesn't need correcting.

The include directive doesn't care about the language. IMO it would be
rather that you have to put inside your include file a runat="server" script
tag that explicitely tells that you are using VBScript... (my understanding
is that "it doesn't work as it correctly detects" means it's not running
fine as the VB Script is thought to be JavaScript code).

The only entity I can see that I refered to as a 'page' is the ASP 'file'.
Honestly why is that a problem?

I don't understand the importance of the differentiation either. It
seems to me that "asp file" and "asp page" are used interchangeably to
mean the same thing, even by Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...p/iiwauslw.htm
but I would be interested to know why this is an issue.
