Type Mismatch Error Using the GetAd Method of Commerce.AdServer (245236)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition
This article was previously published under Q245236 SYMPTOMS
You may receive a type mismatch error when trying to call the GetAd method of the Commerce.AdServer object from JavaScript and you are passing in a TagList.
CAUSE
AdServer is expecting a variant array for the TagList parameter. JavaScript is passing the array as a dispatch pointer to a SimpleList object.
RESOLUTION
You cannot call the GetAd method from JavaScript directly if you are specifying a TagList. Instead, create a VBScript function that performs the communication with the AdServer object. You can then call this function from within your JavaScript.
Here is an example:
<%@ Language = JavaScript %>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">
Function GetAd ()
Set oAD = Application ("Ad")
aArray = array ("position.banner.bottom")
GetAd = oAD.GetAd (Response, aArray)
End Function
</SCRIPT>
' ... code before ad is to be displayed goes here
<% Response.Write (GetMyAd ()); %>
' ... code after ad is to be displayed goes here
