Hi,

I dont know why the page load event is not firing in VB.net . Could some one try please try my same code, what I posted here and suggest me what is the wrong in it. I am comfortable with vb6 and classic asp. So I want to learn first ASp.net with vb. I tried some other codes to fire page load event from different books, but effect is same. So please help me.

Many thanks.

var doc = document.forms[0];
var msg = "";
if (doc.firstName. value == "") {
msg += "- Please enter a first name.n";
}
if (doc.lastName.v alue == "") {
msg += "- Please enter a last name.n";
}
if (msg == "") {
doc.submit();
return true;
} else {
alert("The following errors were encountered.nn" + msg);
return false;
} }

<script language="vb" runat="server">

Change AutoEventWireup ="false" to AutoEventWireup ="true"

Page load event is not firing.
