What message are you getting?

Ray Costanzo [MVP] · Nov 19, 2004

datum is a server-side variable, so you need to write it into your HTML in
order for it to appear at the client. And you'll actually be writing the
variable's value, not the variable. The browser will not have any idea what
"datum" is, since that variable exists at the server level.

alert("<%=datum%>");

Exactly as your words. I've got a error "datum not define". But how do I put
the variable's value to alert box?
Best Regards

You'd do that just as I included in my previous reply. What you're looking
to do is take the value of a server-side variable, and write it to the HTML
of the page, whether that be actually in a javascript function, or in a div,
or in the <title> tag, it's all the same.

<title><%=datum%></title>
<div>Here's the value of the variable from the server: <%=datum%></div>
<script type="text/javascript">alert('<%=datum%>');</script>

What do you call the file name? Where do you save it? How are you trying
to run/view it?

Not quite. JScript uses 0-based months, so you may want to use d.getMonth()
+ 1.

ALSO -- A note of caution: This only works because the default server-side
language is VBScript. I know this because you are mixing <script
runat=server> with <%%> blocks, and there is an order of operations. To see
this in action, move your server-side JScript block to the very end of your
script, and you'll note that it still works:

<script language="javascript">
alert("<%=Time%> on <%=datum%>")
</script>

<script language="JScript" runat="server">
var d = new Date()
var dd = d.getDate()
var mm = d.getMonth()
var yyyy = d.getFullYear();
var datum = dd + "-" + mm + "-" + yyyy
</script>

A far better approach to mixing languages on the server is to encapsulate
those elements into functions (or Subs). Either of those can be called from
any other block, regardless of the parsing order. Example:

<script language="javascript">
alert("<%=Time%> on <%=getDate()%>")
</script>

<script language="JScript" runat="server">
function getDate() {
var d = new Date()
return d.getDate() + "-" +
d.getMonth() + "-" +
d.getFullYear()
}
</script>
