My problem is I routinely use both vbscript and javascript (yes, that is a
problem in itself) on the same webpage. I feel placing the "javscript: " or
"vbscript:" on all my client side events is bloating the size of my page,
especially in my menu.
I am aware the "default" language of the page is the first defined script,
but I can not guarantee javascript will always be defined first. Is there a
way to wrap a block of html to have a default language? I was hoping to
accomplish this through a div wrapper, but that did not work.
I have about 17,000 links like this all in a row. Well, it really isn't
that many, but you can see the code bloat coming.
<a onclick="javasc ript: GoTo( "/page.aspx" );">page</a>
....
Any ideas or suggestions for this?

I suggest you just stop using client-side VB Script. Also, have you
considered using the href attribute of the <a> tag instead of using
JavaScript to provide navigation?

Ray,
I want to stop using it too, but we have lots and lots of vbscript export to
excel functions. And some of my developers are more comfortable with
vbscript. I am slowly converting them over to use javascript, but they came
from VB backgrounds, and I already used a lot of clout to change the site to
C# from VB.NET, so I am out of "bullets".
I am using the href tag (not in my sample), however it calls a function
name. This is a requirement of the system we have to differentiate between
the debug and release version of the build. We can change the vdir path
attribute and "/AP/Apdetails" will always go to the correct location client
side whether the path is http://dasc/ap/apdetails or http://dascdev/test1/bob/AP/Apdetails without any code changes involving the
menu rendering.
So I am gathering it is not possible to set up a "block" of html to default
a specific language?

you can try to keep the onclick code language independent, in your sample:
<a onclick="GoTo( "/page.aspx" )">page</a>
will work no matter the current language or what language GoTo is written
in. if you have to pass "this" you are stuck, but funny can be done this
way:
<script language="javas cript">
window.Literal1 = "this uses' special chars/n";
</script>
......
<a onclick="CallWi thGlobalLiteral (window.Literal 1)">page</a>

Hi guys
Many thanks to all who replied to my original question. Actually, it's dead
easy and the way I was doing it was correct the first time. You do indeed
simply call the VBScript routine from the JavaScript routine. It doesn't
matter whether the scripts are in external files, or embedded in the HTML
document, so long as the VBScript is loaded before it is called from
JavaScript - obviously.
The VBScript routine can return a result...

I often like to include some JavaScript coding in my web pages to make them

the coding and blocks it. Of course the user can click on the message

That subject packs a whallop, so let me explain in better detail what's

In a nutshell, if the first <script /on a page is of type

setTimeout with functions that start with a double-underscore. This is
very relavant to ASPX (ASP Dot Net) pages because it means that
AutoPostBacks will fail since they generally call the...

Another bad thing is that ASP & Javascript doesn't have...
