Remote Scripting With JavaScript and ASP

Conclusion

In this article we've only briefly touched on the power available to us through remote scripting. We've looked at how to install remote scripting as well as two examples of remote scripting in action.

I'm sure that you can think of many uses for remote scripting in your own web sites. I will personally be using it for my next client, because I love how it's cross browser compatible and it's also relatively fast considering the amount of work that it's doing in the background.

If you'd like to learn some more advanced uses of remote scripting, then make sure you check out the links and books shown below. Until next time, enjoy playing around with remote scripting!

    I have read this article on Remote scripting with Asp.  I am wondering if any support is there with Asp.Net. If there what are the relevant links to practice remote scripting with asp.net. Tx

    hi,
      I am trying some remote scripts. I am getting the same error "Failed to create the ASP object: url". I tried installing the JVM, but still i am receiving the error. I am pasting my code here for your reference. I will appreciate if you have any suggestions or comments,

    The "snake.htm" calls snake.asp file from the server.  The snake.asp and snake.htm are in the same folder on the server. I am running the client browser from the server machine.

    All I want to beable to do is have the Remote scripting return a matrix of the querry I submitted. I tried going through the tutorial on remote scripting step by step and can't get the List People SQL tutorial to work. Does anybody know how I can dynamically look up SQL Queries on the serverside and dynamically change my page on the server side?!


    The tutorial just hangs never finds any of the users and locks the browser.


    Thanks

    The code is working very fine and saved me from refreshing the page again and agian.
    It requires Microsoft VM to run and also though a very common thing which just slips of our mind - use "../folder/_scriptlibrary" in the client file .
    This may be one of the reasons that its giving an error "Object doesn't support this property or method"

    Hi All,

    I had been struggling with remote scripting and getting separate erros on two machines I tried. On 1 it was "Failed to create object: <name of page>.asp" and the other, it said "Object does not support method".  

    I spent 4-5 hours and then came back the next day and it struck me after talking to a friend that it might be because my PC uses Sun JVM. Mind you, I have installed Win XP Service Pack 1 and my PC is updated as of yesterday. I then downloaded Microsoft JVM from http://www.entsol.com/html/the_microsoft_jvm.html and installed it. And guess what!  it works now.

    For you guys who're struggling to get Remote Scripting to work, try this and see if it works for you!

    <script language="JavaScript">
     RSEnableRemoteScripting("_ScriptLibrary");

    Install SP1 for Win XP.


    Due to litigation matters, JVM was not included in the release of XP (with IE6), but is now finally available in SP1.

    Hello


    I had similar errors to those that you mentioned, i noticed that they occured soon after i had installed the sun jvm, after much head scratching and even altering rs.htm it dawned on me that perhaps the new jvm might be the reason and that i might not have any problems if i used microsofts jvm instead, i dont know if this is for sure, but when i disabled the sun jvm i didn't have any more of the problems that i had, which happen to be very similar to you own

    I have in  c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\scriptlibray installed all the files for the remote scripting to work( rs.htm,rs.asp,rxproxy.class,etc).
    I have  in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\catalog\config\test.asp which uses the remote scripting by adding this
    lines to the code
    <body>
    ....
    ....
    <!-- Incluir para Remote Scripting -->
    <script language="JavaScript" src="../../ScriptLibrary/rs.htm"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript">RSEnableRemoteScripting("../../ScriptLibrary");</script>
    <!---->
    </body>
    And it stills gives me the same error:"Object doesn't support this property or method" with a line number not matching a line in the code.

    What can I do? I have tried to re-install the rs files and it sill didn't work, what else can I do?

    amitmathur23, you have to install the "Remote Scripting 1.0b" for resolve it...

    I'm getting an error stating
    "Object doesn't support this property or method".

    "this.rsapplet.startRequest(request.id,url_context,url,this.REQUEST_MODE_COMPLETE);" is mentioned.
    Please help.

    I have tried to run the samples on your article on RS and none of them work. I get an error when RSGetASPObject is invoked.
    The problem is in this method  MSRSstartRequest. The msg say Object does not support property or method was not handled. Is there something that I'm missing. I using InterDev 6 on Win2k SP2. Pls Help
