Peg,
It has been a while since I've use JScript, one of the challenges I recall
in adding JScript Pre-Execution is that it doesn't play nice with VBScript
pre-execution in the same foundation page. You'll have to declare <%@
language="javascript"%> inside a pre-ex block at the top of the foundation
and then use only JScript on the page including all things included by
containers. I seem to recall that vbscript doesn't have the nice functions
for date manipulation.
This all assumes you have ASP Pre-execution setup and working elsewhere in
the project. Another old trick is to leave out the Pre-execute and have
<!--RDExecute=asp--> in the page if its just an error in your code. You'll
need the <%@ language="javascript"%> outside the any pre-ex blocks to
get this code to run in RDExecute.
Best,
Tim
