The functionality of the code is that once the upload button is clicked a text file should be created in the given location.

With the current code I am getting uncaught referenceerror is not defined at htmlinputelement.onclick error in other browsers and ' error 429 activex component can't create object' in internet Explorer.

Please help Me, my machine is windows 10

  • Is this ASP Classic? – ZorgoZ Aug 22 '19 at 19:04

    This looks like it might be new development? I would strongly caution against writing browser-side VBscript as it is being deprecated. JavaScript would be a more suitable language for this task.

uncaught referenceerror is not defined at htmlinputelement.onclick error in other browsers

Only Internet Explorer supports VBScript, so in other browsers the <script language="VBScript"> is ignored. This means the function isn't created. This means it isn't defined when you try to call it.

error 429 activex component can't create object' in internet Explorer

Here the function is created, but it doesn't work.

Internet Explorer doesn't allow webpages to use ActiveX to write to the user's hard disk. It would be a serious security problem.

You can only use that component in non-webpage contexts (such as in a Classic ASP application).

The closest you can come is to create a URL with the data embedded in it that the user can download.

  • Thank you.. it is an inhouse application and writes the file to a folder in a secured network drive.It is written in classic asp, not in a position to rewrite need a fix please – newbee Sep 03 '19 at 20:30
  • @newbee — Then you need to move the logic server-side. Client-side code can't do that. – Quentin Sep 03 '19 at 21:52
