navigate Script Object

                           

A child object of the PageObject object that contains the navigate methods exported by the current page.

Syntax

object.navigate[.method]

Parameters

object

A PageObject script object.

method

Any navigate method.

Remarks

At design time you can use the PageObject control to publish ASP script functions as page navigate methods. These methods will be added to the navigate object. You can specify these methods on the Methods tab of the PageObject Property Pages dialog box.

The navigate object makes it easier to dispatch methods from client script to server script and from server script to server script on the same or different pages. If the object is used in client script, any method calls will cause the form to be posted to the server. For information about exporting methods, see Extending the Scripting Object Model Across Pages.

Note   When you export a method, make sure that you convert its parameters to the expected data types. Data types are not retained when processed on the server. If a Boolean or numerical value is not converted into the appropriate data type, the value will be converted to a text string. For more information, see Extending the Scripting Object Model Across Pages.
