Object Does not support this property or Method error

I have the following code:

<Script LANGUAGE=vbscript RUNAT=Server>

for i =0 to document.form1.elements.count-1

response.write "test"

next

</Script>

When it gets to the line for i=0.... the error message pops up stating that
Object does not support this Property or Method.



I have a from name form1.



Please help.

it's because the server doesn't know what
document.form1.elements.count
is, that's my bet.

Looks like you are mixing Javascript with VBScript IMHO.

I got the following code from MSDN to use as an example. So if I am mixing
to two languages it is because the MSDN is incorrect.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!-
Sub cmdChange_OnClick
For i=0 To Document.frmForm.Elements.Count-1
Document.frmForm.Elements(i).Value="Changed!"
Next
End Sub
->
</SCRIPT>

I'm new to this so is there a setting on the web server I can change so that
it recognizes this statement?

I found a different way to do what I want to do but it would require more
code. From the interdev and vbscript courses I took online this statment
should work.

Thanks.

No. "document" is a client-side DHTML object. Server-side code knows nothing
about client-side DHTML.

Then you need to reread those sources. You can never reference a client-side
object or property from server-side code, and vice versa.
Your code would work fine if you removed the "RUNAT=Server" piece from the
script tag.

No, it's because your code is incorrect.

MSDN's code:
>

Your code:
>> <Script LANGUAGE=vbscript RUNAT=Server>

See the difference?

Actually, Stuart was incorrect: you are not mixing two languages. Your
mistake is attempting to use a server-side script block (RUNAT=Server) to
run code that can only run on the client.

This is the main obstacle to people attempting to learn to use asp (myself
included): learning the difference between server-side code and client-side
code. There are many asp tutorial sites out there (www.asp101.com, etc.)
that do a reasonable job of explaining the differennce better than i can do
in an email message.
