Server-Side vs Client-Side script

Author	Message
Dave Spolaric #1 / 4	Server-Side vs Client-Side script I have an application that has been entirely written using server-side script. I need to make a change to it, but I think I will have to use client-side script to get the desired result. My asp pages used to allow a user to select a field from a recordset (from a SQL2000 database) and then submit the form which would call a function that updated the database. That was pretty simple. Now there is a new requirement to allow the user to remove fileds from the database as well. The way I have begun to make this change is by adding an 'Add' and 'Remove' button to the form instead of the 'Submit' button. Here is the code I used: <td align=center valign=middle width=10> <input type=button value=">>" id=AddTrail name=AddTrail></input> <input type=submit value="<<" id=RemTrail name=RemTrail></input> </td> Then, I renamed the update function to 'AddTrail_onClick' so that it would be called whenever a user clicked on the Add button. This method, however, produced no result. The database was not updated and no error message was generated. As I mentioned earlier, I am using server-side script. Does the 'onClick' procedure need to be in client-side script, and if so, how do I access the database from the client-side? Thanks, Dave

Dave #2 / 4	Server-Side vs Client-Side script Yes, the onClick needs to be client side. But you wouldn't access the database from the client side. Have a client side function submit the info to an asp page based upon what button was clicked. HTH Quote: > I have an application that has been entirely written using server-side > script.

Dave Spolaric #3 / 4	Server-Side vs Client-Side script So the client side script will just pass the selected value to another asp page that will execute the server side script? Do you have some sample code of how to write this? Quote: > Yes, the onClick needs to be client side. But you wouldn't access the > database from the client side.

Dave #4 / 4	Server-Side vs Client-Side script this is quick and pretty sloppy, but it illustrates the process flow i was thinking... <% Sub Start() %> <html> <body> <% If Request.QueryString("Y") = "" Then Call Collect() Else Call Process() End If End Sub %> </body> </html> <% Sub Collect() %> <Script Language=VBScript> function btnCheck(Action) window.navigate("?Y=" & Action) end function </Script> <form name=Test method=POST onSubmit="return false"> <input type=button onClick=btnCheck("Delete") value="DELETE"> <input type=button onClick=btnCheck("Add") value="ADD"> </form> <% End Sub Sub Process() Select Case Request.QueryString("Y") Case "Add" Response.Write "We would ADD to the database." Case "Delete" Response.Write "We would DELETE from the database." End Select End Sub Call Start() %>
