Can I Write Asp Code In A .js File?
Solution 1:
Technically, yes.
You need to add the js extension to IIS and the web.config file:
<system.web><httpHandlers><addverb="*"path="*.js"type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory"/></httpHandlers>
The other option (which I recommend) is request an .asp file, like this:
<scripttype="text/javascript"src="yourASPfile.asp"></script>
And yourASPfile.asp would send a javascript header:
<%
Response.ContentType = "application/x-javascript"
%>
Although technically, you don't need to set the header.
Now you can write asp/javascript and it gets parsed by the server THEN delivered to the browser to be used.
Solution 2:
If you mean that you want to use server-side scripting to generate your .js
files, Dan's answer helps you there.
If you mean you want to use Javascript as your server-side ASP language, yes, you can do that. You can set it up by configuration (changing the default langauge from VBScript to JScript), or you can do it explicitly per-file. I do the latter, just because the overwhelming assumption is that .asp
pages are written in VBScript. Here's an example:
<%@Language=JScript%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head><title>Example Javascript ASP Page</title></head><body>
<%
var hello;
hello = "Hello from Javascript!";
Response.Write("<p>" + hello + "</p>");
%>
</body></html>
I do this in any Classic ASP app I write, because that way I'm using the same language on the client and the server. I frequently code up a piece of abstract functionality that ends up being in both places (via includes). Very efficient. :-)
