MsgBox

it is, but only on the client side - if you try to pop up a MsgBox on the server (in between the <% and %> signs) you'll freeze the server.

Well, you could send down the VBScript code in Response.Write statements to show the message box, but then your code would only work in IE browsers. Generally, when a question needs to be presented to the user, an intermediate asp page is used. Populate the asp page with the question and then a submit (or a couple depending on the question) and then continue your processing based on what button was clicked.

hope this makes sense,

you have to send it down as string information. like this:

response.write "<script language=vbscript>" & vbcrlf
response.write "sub document_onload()" & vbcrlf
response.write "dim reply" & vbcrlf & "MsgBox(" & Chr(34) & "Hello" & Chr(34) & ")" & vbcrlf
response.write "end sub" & vbcrlf
response.write "</script>" & vbcrlf

if i remember correctly, the document_OnLoad procedure gets called automatically, but i could be wrong about that. in any case, you have send down all the code in a string format (becuase that's all the response.write can handle). it will be become actual code on the client side.

hope this helps,
