<div>
I guess what I am asking is, what is the VBScript equivalent of the JavaScript document.getElementById?
</div>


<div>
Here's the function and how I think it &quot;should&quot; work, but it doesn't :(<br />
<br />
'FUNCTION - Assign Value to Input from Select Choice:<br />
Function strSelectSet(idText,objSel<wbr />ect,strTyp<wbr />e)<br />
<br />
Select case strType<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;case &quot;text&quot;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;document.getElementById(id<wbr />Text).valu<wbr />e = objSelect.options(text.sel<wbr />ectedIndex<wbr />).text<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;case &quot;value&quot;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;document.getElementById(id<wbr />Text).valu<wbr />e = objSelect.options(text.sel<wbr />ectedIndex<wbr />).value<br />
end select<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
End Function<br />
<br />
The first case assigns the .text value of the option and the second case assigns the .value value of the option.
</div>

On my webform, I am attempting to call this from a &lt;select&gt; element like so:<br />
<br />
onChange=&quot;strSelectSet('Co<wbr />mmuteCity1<wbr />',this,'te<wbr />xt')<br />
<br />
Does nothing.
</div>

golf,<br />
<br />
Ah ok, that's likely my problem. &nbsp;Sorry, I am such a noob at all this.<br />
<br />
So I can't use VBScipt for anything on an ASP Page done by the user as the fill out the form, that all has to be JavaScript?

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am conversant in Visual Basic from working on MS Access and just learning VBScript (which seems quite similar).<br />
<br />
In Visual Basic, if I want to refer to a control on a form by name, I first establish the Form as an object, then use the name like so:<br />
<br />
myForm.controls('myControl<wbr />&quot;).value = &quot;Hello World!&quot;<br />
<br />
Let's say that I have a Function in VBScript where I want to pass the id of an input element and then asign a value to it. &nbsp;What wording would I use?<br />
<br />
Function chgValues(strID)

How to do refer to HTML elements in vbScript?

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
