"response" Object - Sending Data to Client
This section provides a tutorial example on how to use the 'response' object provided by the ASP programming interface to send data to the client, the Web browser.
The "response" object is also a rich object. It contains all the information the server wants to send to the browser, and methods to manage that information:
The following ASP page gives you an idea how to use the response object and its buffer mechanism.
<script language="vbscript" runat="server"> ' response_buffer_test.asp ' Copyright (c) 2002 by Dr. Herong Yang ' This program shows how to use the buffer in the response object ' response.write("<html><body>") response.write("<b>Tests on the response object</b>:</br>") response.Buffer = true response.write("Text line 1.<br/>") response.Clear() response.write("Text line 2.<br/>") response.End() response.write("Text line 3.<br/>") response.write("</body></html>") </script>
Output:
Text line 2.
As you can see from the output, the first text line was cleared out from the response buffer by the call to Clear(). The call to End() stopped the Web server to put any more text to the output. This was why the output only had the second text line.
