If i have an ASP script is it posible to use JavaScript inside the script to update a value in a text box?

E.g. The ASP code is doing a loop and i want to update a textbox counter. Simmilar to how borg has done it with the mailing list. I need it on the same page as the one i submit it from. I think causes issues as i have copied the way borg did it and it does not work.

When i do it all i get is

<script langauge="JavaScript">document.frmSent.count.value = 1;</script>
<script langauge="JavaScript">document.frmSent.count.value = 2;</script>
<script langauge="JavaScript">document.frmSent.count.value = 3;</script>
<script langauge="JavaScript">document.frmSent.count.value = 4;</script>

Loop and set the number in a variable then print:

<script langauge="JavaScript">document.frmSent.count.value = <%=varName%>;</script>

Put that line of code outside of the loop, after the end loop statement. At the moment you have:

Loop
    Print
    Increment counter
End loop

It should be:

Loop
    Increment counter
End loop
Print

I also have a question pertaining to Javascript and ASP. how would I call an asp function in Javascript tags, and at the same time have the asp function call contain my Javascript variables?

Javascript is Client side, ASP is server side. You can't get Javascript to call and ASP tag in the way you describe.

This is how i go the code above to work



<html>

<head>



</head>



<body>

<form action="" method="post" name="frmCount" id="frmCount">

  <input name="count" type="text" id="count">

</form>

</body>

</html>



<%



Dim intCount



For intCount = 1 to 1000

    Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script langauge=""JavaScript"">document.frmCount.count.value = " &
intCount & ";</script>")

Next



%>

If you do





<%





Dim intCount





For intCount = 1 to 1000





    Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<script
langauge=""JavaScript"">document.frmCount.count.value = " &
intCount & ";</script>")





Next





%>



<html>

<head>



</head>



<body>

<form action="" method="post" name="frmCount" id="frmCount">

  <input name="count" type="text" id="count">

</form>

</body>

</html>

It will not work. Must have to load the HTML before the asp. Not sure
