Problem showing javascript Calendar control using innerHTML property of div tag
I am getting error message while calling a javascript function on dropdown onchange event. The javascript function I called getIndex() is supposed to show jason's calendar control that in turn uses <script> tag using innerHTML property of <div> where I want to show this calendar control with some other HTML tags like <table>. I have tried <script defer> but that didn't helped.
The following error comes while loading this page:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0138'
Nested Script Block
/progress/request_search.a
A script block cannot be placed inside another script block

However that is not going to help
Placing a script in innerHTML will not EXECUTE the script

What you are trying to do will not work since the script does a document.write.
Instead we change the document.write of the function to return a string and do

I used without script tag, but that takes me to another page without anything else except the date control.
Please show exactly what you did
var sScript="<SCRIPT DEFER>";
