Can you tell me what programming language this is?
I have a website coded in .aspx and I need to get help in coding.
Can someone please tell me exactly what programming language it is?
Here is a snippet:

Here is a snippet:
Out ('<script language="Javascript" type="text/Javascript">');
Out ('function valCoupon() { ');
Out ('var oForm=document.forms.form1; ');
Out ('var sError=""; ');
Out ('var nID=0;')

Out ('if (oForm.radCoup[i].checked==true) {');
Out ('nID=oForm.radCoup[i].value; }}')

Out ('else {oForm.submit();} ');
Out ('} </script>');

The server page looks like node.js, which is outputing a client html contains javascript code. The server page itself is written in Javascript as well.
As you say aspx, it should be C#, C# for loops look pretty much like javascript for loops, in detail the line for (var i=0;i<rCoups.length;i++) alone could both be javascript and C#.
I assume all the lines with Out() calls make use of a user defined Out function or extension method (in C# you can omit "this" to refer to methods of an instance of a class, for example).
And yes, what is output there is what the browser should get, a mix of HTML and javascript. On the level of execution here in an aspx file it's just strings, just like all the .cs files are just UTF-8 or Unicode text files to the system and Visual Studio.
Bye, Olaf.

OK, thanks...
The Out commands tells the code to output to HTML so it can be seen on a webpage.
All the files have a *.aspx suffix.
I thought this is Classic ASP.NET?
I do rudimentary code in this, but mostly pattern recognition and really not knowing what I am doing, but getting it to display as needed. Clunky, hacky, gorilla-like. But, I get it to work...most of the time.
I need to get some new coding done, and I have run out of my comfort zone on this. Looking for a mentor/coder to help me to code as well as teach me what the heck is getting done so I can do more myself in a better, cleaner way.
You know how it is, we inherit code and hack our way around...speaking only for myself here!
The code is tied to SQL2008 tables, and so there are calls to stored procedures, etc.

There is ASP.NET, which is typically C# and has scripts ending with file extension .aspx, and there is classic ASP, which is done mainly in VBScript and has the script file ending .asp, but there is no classic ASP.NET.
Despite I miss the point and since ASP.NET now is some years old and there also is ASP.NET Core it's now already considered classic :).
The notion to output HTML with so many Out() calls is like echoing all HTML in PHP or doing JS with document.writeln(). It's a sign of bad code quality if I were asked to judge the site by only one such code snippet, but it should be ASP.NET, the modern ASP variant using C# rather than VBScript.

Interesting Olaf.
Does this help unravel the mystery? Here is the deault.aspx staring code:
The code is dated about 2000-2003 circa. Since there is no way to output the code to a visual on a webpage without the "Out (' '); statements, I am not too sure the code is "bad quality". Instead, that was required for output.

I'm too less of an old ASP/ASP.NET expert to disagree here, but I think the notion of code behind and separate HTML was there from the beginning of ASP.NET, and there would have been ways to cope without Out() back at that time, too.
Besides, even if there only was one way Out(), I would prefer building up a string variable value and have only one final Out(variable) than write this in such a way. Even just for sake of HTML syntax highlighting you would want to use some concept of templates or other extra files or a multiline string technique of some sort, if it's not simply possible by writing a string in multiple lines.
