BUG: Client-Side Events Do Not Execute in VBScript (192151)

RESOLUTION

• Use the advise() method to associate your VBScript function with the event. The following example associates the VBScript procedure Recordset1_ondatasetcomplete() with the "ondatasetcomplete" event of the Recordset1 object.
  

      <SCRIPT FOR="window" EVENT="onload" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
      Recordset1.advise("ondatasetcomplete", Recordset1_ondatasetcomplete());
      </SCRIPT>
  
      <SCRIPT Language=VBScript>
  
        Sub Recordset1_ondatasetcomplete()
          '-- Event Handler Code --
        End Sub
      </SCRIPT>
  						

• Call the VBScript procedure with a JScript event. The Event Handler "wrapped" in JScript would look like:
  

      <SCRIPT Language=VBScript>
  
        Sub Recordset1_ondatasetcomplete_VBS()
          '-- Event Handler Code --
        End Sub
      </SCRIPT>
  
      <SCRIPT Language=JScript>
        function Recordset1_ondatasetcomplete() {
          Recordset1_ondatasetcomplete_VBS()
        }
      </SCRIPT>
  						

• The event handler could also be rewritten entirely in JScript, which will work even if the client is running version 3.x of the JScript.DLL.
