Ot: using javascript within asp

Question

Hi - I'm new to asp and badly in need of help.
On one page I'm using several recordsets from the same
database. The code for each is repeated wit only a couple of
variables being changed.
I'd like to save code by creating an array and letting the
array change the variables - However I can't seem to get it to work
- when I use document.write - the code just appears as text on the
browser page.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
much obliged
Drew

Hi Drew,
Remember. IT may be a matter of where/when the code is
executing. The record
sets are happening server side. JS 'document.write' is
written to the page
(actually the server outsput stream) as it is deleviered to
the client. So,
your record set code never sees it.
If you are using bound data on the client side, we need more
information
about what you are doing to answer your question.
