Reason : ASP related question.
I am working on a automated test scripts for a website and I am required to use vbscript to do the bulk of the work. This there a way to get the values passed back from the server using vbscript, either repsonse header or by parsing thru the html source code?

Welcome,

First off you may want to take a look at: W3Schools ASP Tutorial and you may also find a few answers by looking through this ASP section of the VBScript Forum.

A good start would be to elaborate a little more on what your actually wanting to do on your website.
What values are you wanting to retrieve back from the Server?
Are you using some sort of Form to Post information to the Server and in turn retrieve additional information back from the Server?

Basically the site sends the selection made to the server using a form and the server determines what the price is. My developers have said that they can send the data calculated to determine the price back to me for verification either by placing it in the response header or as a comment in the html source code where I can pick it up. The problem is I don't know who to get to the data in order to plug it in my scripts. I need to be able to parse the html source or get the data out of the response header.

I really don't mess with ASP a whole lot anymore, or not that I did a whole lot with it in the past, but hopefully I can still put a little info out of the cobwebs in my brain.

How exactly are your developers going to post that information out on the webpage? Shouldn't there be a variable already setup that would be used to display that information on the page?

The variable is not displayed on the page for the user to see. When I asked them about the possibilities they indicated that they could add a variable to the response object and for me to pick up provided that I could read the response header. The other possibility was to return the variable in the html source code and I would parse thru it and pull out the information I needed.
