[thelist] Mixing Javascript with VB

[Rob Smith]

Well, just for S&G I tried it out anyway. It worked.

This is my code exactly (for anyone else with this problem):

<%
set LoggingIt = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
LoggingIt.ActiveConnection = MM_myConnectionDSNInfo_STRING
LoggingIt.CursorType = 0
LoggingIt.CursorLocation = 2
LoggingIt.LockType = 3

Function logit()
   LoggingIt.Source = "INSERT INTO myTable (myColumn) VALUES ('" & now &
"')"
   LoggingIt.Open()
end function

%>
<a href="folder/article.pdf" onclick="<%logit()%>">Article</a>

Thanks anyway,

I don't think this will do what you want, as the logit function is run
on the server & the call in the onClick would be on the client. By the
time you get to client side code, you're stuck with using javascript to
call home to ask for something to happen via get or post.

Hi list,

I know I've asked a similar question about this in the past but I wanted
to know if this approach is feasible:

<%
    function logit()
       'open DB connection
	 'report activity
	 'close DB connection
    end function
%>

<a href="link.pdf" onClick="<%logit()%>">Here's a link</a>

The other long way around this is to link to a hidden page that logs,
then redirects to document. I want to avoid that.

Thanks in advance,

Rob.Smith
