Remote Scripting MS Sample

Microsoft created an obtuse, complex to read Remote Scripting sample that demonstrates all it's capabilities we will reproduce here in running form:

remotems.htm looks like this:

   filename=/learn/test/remotems.htm

<Test Script Below>


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>SIMPLE CLIENT</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/learn/test/remote/rs.htm"></script>
<script language="JavaScript">RSEnableRemoteScripting("/learn/test/remote/");</script>

<h2>Simple Remote Scripting Example</h2>

<br>
The following buttons invoke remote scripting calls to an ASP server.
<br>
<form>
<br><br><input type=button name=btnRSExecute value="RSExecute Method1" onclick="handleRSExecute()" style="width:250;height:25">
<br><br><input type=button name=btnRSExecuteAsynch value="RSExecute Method1 (async)" onclick="handleRSExecuteAsync()" style="width:250;height:25">
<br><br><input type=button name=btnRSGetASPObject value="aspObject = RSGetASPObject" onclick="handleRSGetAspObject()" style="width:250;height:25">
<br><br><input type=button name=btnASPObject value="aspObject.Method2 (async)" onclick="handleAspObject()" style="width:250;height:25">
<br><br><input type=button name=btnInvalidCall value="RSExecute Invalid Method3" onclick="handleInvalidCall()" style="width:250;height:25">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

    var serverURL = "remotems.asp";
    var aspObject;

    function myCallBack(co)
    {
        alert("CALLBACK\n\n" +
                "status = " + co.status + "\n\n" +
                "message = " + co.message + "\n\n" +
                "context = " + co.context + "\n\n" +
                "data = " + co.data + "\n\n" +
                "return_value = " + co.return_value);
    } 

    function errorCallBack(co)
    {
        alert("ERROR_CALLBACK\n\n" +
                "status = " + co.status + "\n\n" +
                "message = " + co.message + "\n\n" +
                "context = " + co.context + "\n\n" +
                "data = " + co.data);
    }

    function handleRSExecute()
    {
        var co = RSExecute(serverURL,"Method1");
        myCallBack(co);    
    }

    function handleRSExecuteAsync()
    {
        RSExecute(serverURL,"Method1",myCallBack,"RSExecute");
    }

    function handleRSGetAspObject()
    {
        aspObject = RSGetASPObject(serverURL);
        var msg = "aspObject public_description\n";
        for (name in aspObject)
            msg += "   " + name + "\n";
        alert(msg);
    }

    function handleAspObject()
    {
        aspObject.Method2(myCallBack,errorCallBack,"aspObject");
    }

    function handleInvalidCall()
    {
        var co = RSExecute(serverURL,"Method3",myCallBack,errorCallBack,"Invalid RSExecute");
    }

</SCRIPT>

</form>


</BODY>
</HTML>

remotems.asp looks like this:

   filename=/learn/test/remotems.asp

<Test Script Below>


<%@ LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT %>
<% RSDispatch %>

<!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/learn/test/remote/rs.asp"-->
<SCRIPT RUNAT=SERVER Language=javascript>
    function Description()
    { 
        this.Method1 = Method1;
        this.Method2 = Method2;
    }
    public_description = new Description();


    function Method1()
    {
        return new Date;
    }

    function Method2()
    {
        return new Array("blue","red","green","yellow","orange","purple","cyan","magenta");
    }

</SCRIPT>
