What's receiving the action (what's getting clicked) and what do you want to happen when the thing gets clicked?

OnClick is a JavaScript method and can be used as follows:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;a href="javascript:;" onClick="Function"&gt;testlink&lt;/a&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

There should be a function called Function that is executing the function. In ASP.NET things goes a little bit different. But, as Dave also mentioned: what's getting clicked and what should be processed when clicked??

I have a button on a dynamic asp/vbscript page. that when clicked. is ment to save the data on the page to the various tables.
the line where the button is &lt;input name="Buy" type="Button" id="Buy" value="Buy It" onClick="Buy" &gt;

and the code to execute.

&lt;%
Sub onClick_Buy
'Setup Order Variables

Dim Orders, OrdID, NewOrdID
Set Orders = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"
Orders.ActiveConnection = MM_ABCVitamins_STRING
Orders.Source = "SELECT * FROM Orders"
Orders.CursorType = 3
Orders.CursorLocation = 2
Orders.LockType = 3
Orders.Open()
Orders.Movelast
OrdID = Orders.Fields.Item("OrderID".Value
NewOrdID = OrdID + 1
Orders.Addnew
Orders.fields("CustomerID".Value= cid
Orders.Fields("employeeID".Value = 1
Orders.Fields("OrderDate".Value = Date
Orders.Update
Orders.Close()
Set Orders= Nothing
' :: OrderDetails Info - OrderDetailID, OrderID, ProductID, Quantity, UnitPrice
' :: OrderDetails Vars :: ODID, NewODID, OrdID, NewOrdID, chid, chQuantity, chprice

' Database access - OrderDetails
Dim OrderDetail, chId, chProduct, chPrice, chQuantity
Set OrderDetail = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"
OrderDetail.ActiveConnection = MM_ABCVitamins_STRING
OrderDetail.Source = "SELECT * FROM OrderDetails"
OrderDetail.CursorType = 3
OrderDetail.CursorLocation = 2
OrderDetail.LockType = 3
OrderDetail.Open()
OrderDetail.MoveLast
' ::: OrderDetails LOOP
FOR x = 0 TO UBOUND( localCart, 2 )
IF localCart( CARTPID, x ) &lt;&gt; "" THEN
chProduct=localCart( CARTPNAME, x )
chPrice=localCart( CARTPPRICE, x )
chQuantity=localCart( CARTPQUANTITY, x )

OrderDetail.AddNew
OrderDetail.Fields("OrderID".Value = NewOrdID
OrderDetail.Fields("ProductID".Value = chProduct
OrderDetail.Fields("Quantity".Value = chQuantity
OrderDetail.Fields("UnitPrice".Value = chPrice
OrderDetail.Update

If x &lt;= UBOUND( localCart, 2 ) then
OrderDetail.MoveNext
End If
END IF
NEXT
Response.write("DONE"
OrderDetail.Close()
Set OrderDetail = Nothing
End Sub
%&gt;

I have also tried Function onclick_buy
with end function at the end. but i it eirther sitill errors or it doesn't do anything, It just sits there.

The whole issue for using 'Onclick' is that when this page loads it is running all the code when it needs to wait for user intereaction, namely saving the data.
The page is design to give the customer a last look and confirm that they want to buy the products.
but it is saving purchase a purchase order before the customer has a chance to click on the button to confirm. so i am trying to use a onclick for it to wait for the customer.

ok if you need any further info please don't hesitate to ask.

thanks

I don't know exactly but doesn't functions be declared like this:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;script language="VBScript"&gt;

&lt;!—-Function must stay inside these tags --&gt;



&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

</font id=code></pre id=code>
