I need to execute a sql update statement after retrieving the value return from a javascript function. Can I access the connection object from Javascript? If not, how can I call a vbscript function from Javascript to execute the sql update statement?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Teresa.
With IE it is possible to commmunicate with the server from the browser but I believe it is IE specific.
What you migh want to look at is AJAX and have a XML back-channel to the server.
We have done the same with iframes very successfully.
1. Create a page with an iframe.
2. When you have your javascript value - set the iframe's location to a ASP page and pass the value in as part of the querystring
3. Called page will generate cross-frame javascript to update values on the parent page
As mentioned we use this all of the time to create very dynamic web applications that gives the user a very rich interface.
Hope this helps
Dave
