OnClick Question

[SyrU]

I have the below code. I am trying to send information to a subroutine, I
am getting an Object Required Error.

<input type="button" name="pSearch" value="Search"
onclick="DisplayRecords()">

Then in my ASP page I have this

Sub DisplayRecords()

dim conn
dim strsql
dim mycount

....
....

End Sub

I think I am doing this correctly.

You seem to be confusing a client side event (onClick) with server side
script.

Hmmm, thanks didn't realize that. Is there any another way I can have a
user click on a button and run a sub routine or do I have to pass the value
to another page?.

It can be the same page, different page, different server, different site -
it doesn't matter. But, regardless, you'll have to hit a server again.
Example:


<%
If Request.Querystring("x") = "1" Then
Response.Write "Okay, NOW the code in here will run..."
'''code, code, code
End If
%>


<button onclick="location.href+='?x=1'">Run a sub</button>


See, instead of calling a sub from your button, you call the page again, but
pass something in the querystring that can tell your SERVER-side code that
it should do something. Does that make sense at all?

Yes, it does. Thanks Ray
