JavaScript and ASP

[donstephens]

I'm trying to use a script that has sliders to control some homeseer devices.

How can I insert a DeviceString into a javascript and how do I run a Homeseer function from a javascript?

To give you an example of what I'm trying to do, I have a Denon amp that reports it's volume setting in a virtual device. When I run an asp page that controls this I use hs.DeviceString("v8") which returns the present value of the volume control. To change the volume I use the command
s = hs.RunEx("denon.vbs","send","MVUP") and then recall the page with a response.redirect statement, and the page comes up with the new value. This works but is akward, so I wanted to use a slider, but that is in javascript.

Any suggestions?

Thanks;

Well, half way there. I discovered that putting an ASP variable into javascript is no big thing. For those who are curious...

Going the other way looks like it will be daunting...Perhaps a redirect to another page and back...

 <%
 volume =  CStr(hs.DeviceString("v8"))
 %>
 
 <script type="text/javascript">
 
 var s = new Slider(document.getElementById("slider-1"), document.getElementById("slider-input-1"));
 var s2 = new Slider(document.getElementById("slider-2"), document.getElementById("slider-input-2"), "vertical");
 s.onchange = function () {
     document.getElementById("h-value").value = s.getValue();
     document.getElementById("h-min").value = s.getMinimum();
     document.getElementById("h-max").value = s.getMaximum();
     s2.setValue(s.getValue());
     s2.setMinimum(s.getMinimum());
     s2.setMaximum(s.getMaximum());
 };
 //Get Value from HomeSeer and insert it into javascript
 s.setValue(<%= volume %>);
 window.onresize = function () {
     s.recalculate();
 };
 //window.location ="/ir.asp";
 </script>
