Calling Functions or Subs in another <SCRIPT>

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to call a function within one SCRIPT element
(VBScript) from a function within a different SCRIPT element (also
VBScript)?

The called function is within a SCRIPT element with the RUNAT=SERVER
attribute. And the calling function is within a SCRIPT that does not have
this attribute.

Thanks in advance..

I think you need to wrap the calling probram in a WSF file (XML) then
use the src=

<script language="vbscript" src="SecondFile.vbs"/>

UGH ... I think it'd be better just to use all client-side components..

thanks anyways..

It seems to me that what you want is near impossible. Client-side script
code can invoke a function residing in a different client-side script block
on the same page, because they share the same code space. Server-side script
is run on the server with only the results emitted to the client-side
browser, not the code itself.

Agreed .. although facts remain facts regardless of whether or not I agree
;-)

I just thought I had seen a work-around for this posted here at one time.

Thanks anyways

Oh, it's not that bad. It really is fairly elegant once you've taken
the class that teaches how:

<Job id="TypeLibExample">
<Reference Object = "CDO.Message"/> 'what ever the library...
<Script language="VBScript">
'code goes here
</Script>
</Job>

Save it as code.wsh instead of code.vbs then double-click it....

Oops, better example:

<Job id="IncludeExample">
<script language="VBScript"src="secondscript.vbs">
'code that calls function in secondscript.vbs
</Script>
</Job>

It's from Module 8 of the Microsoft 2433 VBScripting class. The more I
learn about XML the more I want to learn more about XML.
