Accessing Data generated with client-side script from server-side script
Yes, I understand. I guess that's a bit odd since the thing to really keep
is the data, and who cares about what the page looks like, but I guess I can
understand why you'd want that, like if the confirmation page changes or
whatever. So, basically you're looking to save the response text to a file
on the server, huh?
There is no built in way of getting the response stream into a variable or
anything, like you can't do sVar = Response.Text or anything. That would be
nice... You could use the xmlhttp object to load the same page that your
user is seeing and save it that way, but if the page is the result of
method=post, that will complicate things. Probably the most reliable way to
do it would be to generate the whole page in ASP without intermixing HTML,
like so:
<%
sHTML(0) = "<html><head><title>Confirmation</title></head>"
sHTML(1) = vbCrLf & "<body>Thank you for your order. Here is your
confirmation info:"
sHTML(2) = vbCrLf & "<table width=""500"" cellpadding=""2""><tr><td>Your
name:</td><td>"
sHTML(3) = sClientName & "</td></tr>"
...etc.etc.
sResult = Join(sHTML)
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\SavedOrders\" & iOrderID & ".htm")
objFile.Write sResult
objFile.Close
Set objFSO = Nothing
Response.Write sREsult
%>
