You didn't need to post all of the Country options to make your point!

</select>
[quoted text, click to view]

You're mixing client-side with server-side....

"MsgBox" won't work in ASP as it would be displayed
on the server for which there is no comsole.

VBScript on the client-side won't work in all browsers.

The "action=" of a form element is a server-side
form handler -- not a subroutine or function.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html

The "<select>" statement must appear inside of the form.

What are you really trying to do?

Here's a version that displays the selected country on top of
the the selection list if one was picked before hitting Submit.


<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<% Option Explicit
Dim strSEL
strSEL = Request.Form("country")
If strSEL <> "" Then Response.Write(strSEL)
%>
<html>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="country">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select Country</option>
<option value="United States">United States</option>
<option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>
<!-- insert other options here -->
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

What I want to do is to create a demo asp that runs a script server-
side

I'm almost able to do that thanks to your help with the following
script

What I would like to understand:
- How can I modify to execute the batch only onclick
- which user execute the script? I get permission denied everywhere

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<% Option Explicit
Dim strSEL
Dim myexec
strSEL = Request.Form("country")
Set myexec = Server.Createobject("Dynu.Exec")

Response.Write("<PRE>")
If strSEL <> "" Then Response.Write(myexec.execute("c:\univ52\exec
\uxordre ses=SEQ upr=TEST mu=ITLPMNAT parm=" & country))
Response.Write("</PRE>")

Set myexec = nothing
%>

<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="country">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select Country</option>
<option value="United States">United States</option>
<option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>
<!-- insert other options here -->
</select>

</form>

I don't understand what this means.

[quoted text, click to view]


A Google of "Dynu.Exec" found this:

DynuExecT ASP Component
http://www.dynu.com/dynuexec.asp

"Using this component you can execute any DOS commands
and and start up windows applications from within your ASP
pages and get the entire result as a string."

"DynuExecT has been tested to be 100% compatible with
IIS 4.0/5.0, Personal Web Server(PWS) running on all versions
of Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP."

However, it doesn't say that it is compatible with IIS 6.0 --
what IIS version are you running?

Not sure why you need it..

Also, it refers to your C: drive which may not be available
under ASP -- that's probbaly your permission issue.

Yep, sorry - I realize I didn't explained it clearly
This is what I need:
I need a web page with a select form and a button, and when I press
the button I need to execute a script server-side passing the
selection as first command line parameter
This is supposed to run on XP (IIS 5.1) and 2003 (IIS 6.0)

[quoted text, click to view]

I found this component to execute server-side, because I made a few
tries with the Vbscript Run method of the Wshell object but I wasn't
able to do that (it's explained here but I'm not able to make it work:
http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general/how-do-i-execute-a-dos-command/batch-file/exe-from-asp.html
)


[quoted text, click to view]

Hum, this is a problem..

[quoted text, click to view]

What can I put instead of C: ?

Thanks,

Nicola Attico

Did you see the part in the above referenced page that states:
"If you receive the following error:" re "Permission denied "?

[quoted text, click to view]

Probably not -- but maybe...

[quoted text, click to view]

Either change your IIS configuration to allow access to your C: drive
(not recommended) or move the executable under your web server's root.
