Is there a way to launch a javascript command from within VB code? For
instance, to issue a window.open(some url) if a certain condition is met. I
know you can add the javacript to a control event at runtime, but i need to
just launch it, not wait for the user to click something.

Thanks

No. "VB Code" is server-side. JavaScript is client-side. And never the twain
shall meet.

Just bind your javascript to the appropriate client side event (such as the
the onload attribute of the body tag). It will be always performed client
side anyway.

JavaScript is just text in a response the server sends to the client. Unless
you are sending text to the client, there will be no JavaScript. The only
time you can send text to the client is at the end of the request.

Also, you seem to have some code, and you want that code to launch some
JavaScript. But how did that code get called if the user didn't click
anything?

It's kind of like a validation function, kind of hard to explain.
Basically, when the user clicks a button, i want to run a small function,
and then if and only if a certain condition fails do i run the javascript.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're should learn a bit more about the execution
model of ASP.NET before tackling this task. Perhaps this will help: The
ASP.NET Page Object Model
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/dnaspp/htm
l/aspnet-pageobjectmodel.asp?frame=true). Realize that this happens on the
initial request, and on _every_ postback.

If you want to validate something in client side code before you
submit, bind a client side event to your submit button.


**** server code ****
myBtn.Attributes.Add("OnClick","return Validate();");


**** client code ****
function Validate() {
// do some logic
return true or false;
}

when the use clicks the button, the client side validation method is
called, and if you return true, the form will post.

Eg. VB.Net code:

If flag = true the
response.write("<script language = 'javascript'>alert('the flag was
succesful');</script>")
else
response.write("<script language = 'javascript'>alert('the flag was
Unsuccesful');</script>")
end if

This VB.NET code will have been executed in response to a user action, e.g.
a click.

What if I wanted to call my of function test() ? How would I do that?

Response.Write("<script language = 'javascript'>test();</script>");

....dows not work
