[thelist] Sharing data between ASP and JavaScripts

[jerryscannell at cox.net]

I have a database loop that's running some ASP code.  I would like the user to be able to cancel the operation cleanly.  What I'm looking to do is perhaps have a "cancel" button whose onClick event sets a flag.  I could then test the flag at the end of my do ... loop and gracefully exit.  I can't seem to think of a scheme where a piece of data that is set by a client operation can be tested from within an ASP loop.

Any ideas here?
