Field calcs with OnBlur

[George]

I am trying to have an auto calculation happen on a form when 1 of 2 boxes get data keyed into them. I tried using ONBLUR with both textboxes, but I kept getting an invalid object. I use VBscript for my coding.


<%
response.write(<td class=""detaill""><input type=""text"" name=""txtRate_1"" size=""5"" onBlur=""CalcTotal"" ></td>")


sub CalcTotal
..
..
..
end sub


%>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

George

You will need to have CalcTotal in client-side script. ASP runs *once*,
returns HTML/client-side script to the client, and then doesn't exist. So
your client-side action can't magically call your server-side CalcTotal,
because it no longer exists. View the source, do you see it? Anything that
the client can do must be visible to the browser. ASP code is not visible
to the browser, it runs on the server and goes out of scope before the
browser displays a result that the end user can interact with.

THe VBScript need to be CLIENT side.... it looks like the CalcTotal
function you are referring to resides in server side script.
