I have now come across this problem a few time. If you have a vbs script on a page the browser assumes that the rest of any code on the page will also be in vbs not Javascript.
For example say I had:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" src="vb_file.vbs"></script>
and then:
<script>
alert('hi!');
</script>

it would throw up an error becuase it thinks it's vbs not Javascript. THis is easily sovled by putting type='text/javascript in the script tag.
What do I do though when I am using onclick and onchange in an input?
I have the following code:
<td><input type=text value="" name="date" size=6 onchange="saveCh(document.form1.date.value, 'date', 'id');">
but becuase I have:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" src="vb_file.vbs"></script>
earlier on it the code it proccesses the onchange bit as vbs not Javascript and throws up the error:
cannot use parentheses when calling a sub
How can I get it to proccess as Javascript?

When i first started mixing and matching the two languages I came across a similar problem (now I program entirely in one language or the other depending on the circumstance).

But to alleviate your issue, do this:

onchange="vbscript://saveCh(document.form1.date.value,   'date', 'id')"

onchange="javascript://saveCh(document.form1.date.value,   'date', 'id')"

I THINK you can also do this:

<input type=text value="" name="date" size=6 language="JavaScript" onchange="saveCh(document.form1.date.value,   'date', 'id');">

Thanks for that. I tried out your first suggestions and found a small fault in it.
It's not:
javascript://savech..
it's:
javascript:savech..

I did briefly try your other suggestion but this didn't seem to work, might just have been me though as I was using a replace() function to do it. Thanks for everything.
