PRB: Remote Scripting Error If You Change Server Language to JScript (259389)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Active Server Pages
This article was previously published under Q259389 SYMPTOMS
If you change the server-side script language from Microsoft VBScript to Microsoft JScript in a server Active Server Pages (ASP) page that is used for remote scripting, the following error message appears:
Remote Scripting Error
REMOTE SCRIPTING ERROR: Page invoked does not support remote scripting.
CAUSE
Within the server-side script page, a remote scripting function called RSDispatch() is called. The error occurs because the public_description object, which is utilized by the RSDispatch() function, has not been created.
RESOLUTION
To resolve the error, ensure that the public_description object is created before you call RSDispatch(). You can accomplish this by simply making the call to RSDispatch() as the last command on the page.
For example, change
<%@ LANGUAGE=JScript%>
<!--#include file="_ScriptLibrary/rs.asp"-->
<% RSDispatch() %>
<SCRIPT Language=JavaScript RUNAT=SERVER>
function Description()
{
this.TestFunction = TestFunction;
}
public_description = new Description();
function TestFunction()
{
return "Hello world!";
}
</SCRIPT>
to:
<%@ LANGUAGE=JScript%>
<!--#include file="_ScriptLibrary/rs.asp"-->
<SCRIPT Language=JavaScript RUNAT=SERVER>
function Description()
{
this.TestFunction = TestFunction;
}
public_description = new Description();
function TestFunction()
{
return "Hello world!";
}
RSDispatch();
</SCRIPT>
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
