Getting Sub to work...

[Clever1]

sub Reset_OnClick
if hs.ison("M5") then
hs.execx10 "M5","off",0
end if
hs.WaitEvents
if hs.isoff("M5") then
hs.execx10 "M5","on",0
end if
end sub

[other html code]

<form>
<input type="button" value="Reset Camera" name=Reset>
</form>

Clicking the button does not execute the sub?? Not sure why??

[Clever1]

sub Reset_OnClick
if hs.ison("M5") then
hs.execx10 "M5","off",0
end if
hs.WaitEvents
if hs.isoff("M5") then
hs.execx10 "M5","on",0
end if
end sub

[other html code]

<FORM>
form
input type="button" value="Reset Camera" name=Reset
form


Clicking the button does not execute the sub?? Not sure why??

Rich,
Is this in an asp page or html page?


Another point as well. The code:

sub Reset_OnClick 
if hs.ison("M5") then 
hs.execx10 "M5","off",0 
end if
hs.WaitEvents 
if hs.isoff("M5") then 
hs.execx10 "M5","on",0 
end if 
end sub

Is going to cycle the device. Is that what your after?

ASP...

Yes I just want to be able to cycle the camera if I think it needs it... It will be plugged in in a very hard to get to place and I want to be able to turn if off and on when I want to and cycle it if need be...

Rich,
You didn't show it but in order to call that sub you need a line in your asp file to grab the form data and process it. Something like"

val = request.form("reset")
if val = "Reset Camera" then 
 if hs.ison("M5") then 
    hs.execx10 "M5","off",0 
 end if
 hs.WaitEvents 
 if hs.isoff("M5") then 
   hs.execx10 "M5","on",0 
 end if 
end if

In my reading I was under the impression that if it is an ASP page the VBScript base sub would work as they had is listed... I say that to say that a form input of type "button" has built in events right?? Like the [button name]_OnClick...


So clicking the button named Reset should have executed the sub Reset_OnClick... Did I not read that correctly??

Rich,
That will work in IE but I'm not sure about any other browser. If that is the way you want to do it then it has to be like this:

'Do not need form tags.
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" class="button2" NAME="MyReset" VALUE="Reset Camera">

<SCRIPT FOR="MyReset" EVENT="onclick">
      Your code in here
</SCRIPT>

I would like it to work in all browsers... How would you do it??
