Question

I need to call a Javascript function from the server side in Client side. I looked and didn’t find any way how to do it. I looked also over AJAX but can’t figure it out. I am using ASP ( clasic) not .net .

I need to call the function in client-side with a variable that comes from the client-side. Please help me!!! Thanks a million !!!

I am using a FlashMovies that is sending a value to a Javascript function through ExternalInterface class. The function in javascript receiving it is gAnswer(result) and in this function i would need to have something like :

Server side:
function saveResult(result)
{code to be saved on the server goes here }

Client side :
function gAnswer (result)
{ saveResult(result) } <- THis is the part i dont know how to do.
The function gAnswer is being called when the flash movie finished by itself.
Would you be able to provide some code on how to ? thanks to each one of you who helped me =)

Call serverside function from client side via Ajax using this here:

function CallServersideFunction() {


        url = "CmsAjax.asp";
        if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
            http = new XMLHttpRequest()
        }
        // code for IE
        else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
            http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
        }

        if (http) {
            http.open("GET", url, true)
            http.onreadystatechange = handleHttpResponsearticleID;
        }
        isWorking = true;
        http.send(null);


}

function handleHttpResponsearticleID() {
    if (http.readyState == 4) {
        if (http.responseText.indexOf('invalid') == -1) {
            var xmlDocument = http.responseXML;
            fno = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName('id').length;
            if (fno > 0) {
            alert('Successfully done.')
                }
        }
    }
}

On this page “CmsAjax.asp” you can do your serverside operations.
