Hello,

I have a multi-frame page.  The frames are named Frame_1, Frame_2 and
Frame_3.

Frame_1 has a drop down box.  When a value is selected in this drop
down box, Frame_2 is updated using an asp file (as I have to read from
a back-end access database).

In turn in the asp file, I have a Body onload tag to execute a
javascript function within Frame_2.  this function updates the contents
of Frame_3.

Till now this is working fine.

Here is the problem.  Frame_3 has a form with a radio button.  When a
radio button is selected, I want that a function be executed in
Frame_3.

However since content of Frame_3 is updated using
"window.parent.Frame_3.document.writeln(", I cannot include "<Script
language="javascript" etc within the text of the window.parent. etc
because Script within a script is not allowed.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Thanks in advance.

document.write('<\/script>') instead of document.write('</script>')

This is the exact error that I get:

Active Server Pages, ASP 0138 (0x80004005)
A script block cannot be placed inside another script block

....2.asp, line 255

And Line 255 is

response.write "
window.parent.Frame_No_33.document.writeln(" & quote & "<script
language=....

I tried defining two variables lt = chr(60) and gt = chr(62) which are
respectively the less than (<) and the greater than (>) signs and
replaced the "<" in "<script...".

Still that did not work.

I tried your suggested solution but that did not work.

Appreciate other solutions.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Not sure, but I solved a similar problem once like this:

Dim str
str = "window.parent.Frame_No_33.document.writeln('<scrip";
str=str& "t language=...>"

response.write str

If you break on the script-word I might work.
