Programming ASP in Javascript
VBScript is the default scripting language that ASP is coded in, so if you want
to specify a different scripting language you have to state which scripting language
you will be using at the very beginning of your code. Below is the line of code
that must be your first line of ASP code or else your page will break and you'll
get a boring error message.
ASP Code:
<%@ Language="javascript"
'The rest of your ASP Code....%>
Remember, if this isn't your first line of ASP code then everything will break.
Learning Javascript
If you don't already know javascript very well, then it is probably a good idea if you just
learn VBScript instead of trying to get ASP to work with javascript. I have heard
of many fellows having trouble getting ASP to cooperate properly with Javascript and
there just isn't that many informative examples of programming ASP with Javascript available. Your
ASP career will be much more pleasant if you simply stick with VBScript from the get go.
TipsAll of Tizag's ASP Tutorial
is written in VBScript, but if you have a good understanding of Javascript and prefer it, you should have no problem
whatsoever converting our code.
