Calling a javascript function from server script URGENT HELP

[Silvia Brunet-Jones]

Ok I am about to pull my hair.
I have an active x control in an object tag which, as you
know cant have runat=server. So what I need is to not
loose what is in this box everytime a postback happens. So
all I want to do is add this statement
document.all.txtEditor.value =
document.all.Transcription.objEditor.textrtf;
in the before the page is posted so that I can then
retrive it and put it back.
WHY CANT I DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have tried all kinds of things, the submit function is
not getting called when the postback occurs.
There has to be a way how to call a javascript function
from the server side code. Where I can put this in the
private void Page_Unload(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
at least.
HELP

Actually, you CAN have a client-side <OBJECT> tag and a runat=server
attribute. You just use an HTMLGenericControl in your CodeBehind to work
with it.

While you can't CALL a JavaScript function from the server side, you can
certainly ADD one to the Page, using RegisterClientScriptBlock or
RegisterStartupScript (if you want the script to run immediately after the
page is loaded).
