Convert javascript to vb script?

D Newsham

Hi,

This javascript creates a table that has a header and side column that
do not move while scrolling through the table. I need to convert this
to vb script. Can anybody help, or do you have code in vb (asp) that
would do the same thing?

this.data = data;

var cursor = document.all ? "hand" : "pointer";

// persist object for later use.
window[name] = this;

// initialize internal properties.
this.xOffset = 0;
this.yOffset = 0;

// render table
var aStr = new Array;
aStr.push('<table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 id="' +
this.name + '">');

// column header row
aStr.push('<tr>');
aStr.push('<td>&nbsp;</td>');
for ( var j = 0; j < this.data.nCol; j++ )
{
aStr.push('<th width=' + this.data.nCellWidth + '><span>' +
this.data.colHeaders[j] + '</span></th>');
}
aStr.push('<td width=20>&nbsp;</td>');
aStr.push('</tr>');

Hi,

This javascript creates a table that has a header and side column that
do not move while scrolling through the table. I need to convert this
to vb script.

Why? ASP can use javascript (JScript) if you wanted it to run on the
server. However, a lot of the stuff here uses client-side only things,
like the height of page elements, which will not be available on the
server. So, you must want it for client-side use. Converting it to
vbscript for client-side use will work only in IE.

What are you really wanting to do? Create something on the server, or
the client?

ASP, which runs on the server, creates html pages on the fly. It knows
nothing of the client (usually a browser). It simply sends a response to
whatever user agent sent it a request.

You did a multipost (separate copies to separate NGs) instead of a crosspost
(one copy to more than one NG).

Please do not multipost!

I apologize for the multipost. I got an error in Google the first
time I posted this, which said it hadn't been posted. Since the posts
don't come up for several hours, I did not realize it had already
posted.

Multi-post means you the same message in different newsgroups, not the same
message in one newsgroup at different times.

You posted this same message in the "microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript"
newsgroup (where I offered a partial solution).
