Call it an .asp file and use it as a .js. file.

Hi,

Actually I call the .js file from the home page like:
<script type='text/javascript' src='Scripts/MenuScript.js'></script>

So How can I proceed. I have the menu Links in the .js file (some of the
links are also points to other web sites). So I am updating the web site so
that where ever I have used the specific link (say: www.abc.com) that should
now read a ASP variable dynamically. I have 2 lines in the above .js file
and I want that 2 lines to read the same ASP variable. Hope you are able to
understand.

Thanks
Prabhat

Don't.

If you want to use lines in that file like this:

var blahClientside = '<% =blahServersideVBSorJS %>';

use:

<script type='text/javascript' src='Scripts/MenuScript.asp'></script>

Hi

You want me to change the "MenuScript.js" file to "MenuScript.asp" and
Include the line I wanted to use in javascript file?

and then:
I will use the below line in my home page ("default.htm")?
<script type='text/javascript' src='Scripts/MenuScript.asp'></script>

But if so will the "script type='text/javascript' " still work ?

Thanks

That is what I am trying to tell you,
but better than believing me, try it out.]

Using a session variable:
var blahClientside = '<% =session("blahServersideVBSorJS") %>';

Or the server time:
var timeOnServer = '<% =now %>';


btw:
About the same goes for:
<img src='myJpg.asp'>
[as long as you send an image stream with the right disposition header]
