Stopping VBScript executing when page loads

Question

I have a form that submits to a different page to the one it is on. I want to catch the onsubmit for the form and perfom some VBScript code.

Am I right in thinking like with Java code in a JSP, everything in <% %> will be evaluated before the html is rendered?

Here is a brief overview of my problem:

<form id="frm1" method="post" action="otherSite" onsubmit="<% logFormSubmit "submitted"%>">
    .
    .
    .
</form> 

The code in the onsubmit calls a sub, logFormSubmit on another asp page that takes a string argument as the action to be logged. The problem here is this happens before the form is submitted, because the <% %> code is evaluated before any html, or at least that's what I think is happening.

I can't log from he page the form submits to. Any suggestions on only calling the logFormSubmit sub when the form is submitted?

Answer 1

You could catch the form values programmatically, call the logFormSubmit function, and then return false for the submit form.
