swirlingDervish Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Trying some simple code hiding with ASP, but the w3school tutorials are just a little confusing as to when to use which heading for which result. I'm trying to maintain javascript buttons that call a JS script in an external ASP sheet: will simple includes do or do I need to do some getting and posting from the "onClick"? Does the onClick need to be VBscripted? To completely hide it (even source code side) do I need to use .asp extension or is .inc fine?...and how do I head up the main file, as an HTML or an ASP...? <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><script language="javascript" runat="server"><!--#include file="<%/scripts/chcDescrips.asp%>"--> </script> <body> <td width="38" height="54"><a href="javascript:arrayResult(0);"><img src="images/buttonWhite.png" width="30" height="30"></a></td></body> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Anything that's running on the server won't be available after the page has loaded. The server first executes all the server-side code, generates the content and sends it to the user. Once the page has been sent to the user, server-side code won't run anymore. Removing the runat="server" will run the Javascript on the client side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlingDervish Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi, Ingolme, thanks for the 2 cents, but I'm still coming up code-result empty! My include has a js function to open answers to button questions in a <div> box....it doesn't seem to be as simple as an include to bring the answers from server-side. Do I need to enclose in vb script, as the loaded source code doesn't seem to open the include...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlingDervish Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well, still trying to get my server-handled code shown: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><%@ language="javascript" %><!--#include file="<%/scripts/chcDescrips.asp%>"--> </head> <td width="38" height="54"><a href="javascript:arrayResult(0);"><img src="images/buttonWhite.png" width="30" height="30"></a></td> ...you know me, "syntaxed!" What seems to be wrong...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 What do you see when you open the page in a browser and go to View Source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlingDervish Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi, JSG....the same code I listed above...the include doesn't expand or get worked on at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It sounds like your server doesn't support the language. That looks like ASP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlingDervish Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nope, hoster definitely supports ASP...otherwise, my syntax is correct...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's not correct. I believe the @LANGUAGE declaration needs to be first on the page, before any other ASP code. There can also only be one of those declarations. Check the reference here for including files: http://w3schools.com/asp/asp_incfiles.asp Note that ASP tags are not part of the filename.

swirlingDervish Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks, JSG, altho I did read in another reference just a while ago that either .inc (for inclusion in the developed source code) or .asp (for non-inclusion in the developed source code) would work...?

justsomeguy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The file extension doesn't matter, it's all treated as ASP code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
