how to run an asp code in javascript?

[Tinderbox]

I am working on a piece of code for an academic experiment and it
puzzled me for days, any help?

I use javascript to sort a table in a html page. bascially, a user can
click on any attributes and the javascript code will rank the contents
of the table based on that attribute. This is done.

Now I want to record the click information into an access database.
basically, wheneve the user click an attribute, I want to use asp code
to insert the click information (userid, attribute_click ed) into an
access database.

My current solution is use window.open in javascript and in the open
function, I insert the url of the asp. something like this:

var nW = window.open('', 'newwnd', 'width=0,height =0,left=0,top=0 ');
nW.location.hre f = "desc.asp?subje ctid="+ subjectid + "&item=" +
attributeinfo;
nW = null;


However, the problem is there is always a popup windows appears when
the code was executed.

What i want to know is if there is anyway to let the asp code running
in the background invisibly by user?

Thanks in advance!

I did something similar a while back on a java server.
However, instead of a pop-up I used an Image array.

here is something to get you going.

var logAry = new Array();

function log(message){
var logImg = new Image(1,1);
logImg.src = "http://url.here.com/?message=" + escape(message) ;
logAry[logAry.length] = logImg;
}

Hope this helps,
