This is going to be dumb, but my mind is mush and I know I've done this
before.

I have an ASP page that works fine when accessing it via the browser URL
bar: i.e.. http://webaddress/dir/something.asp

What I would like to do is to run the script from an html home page. So in
the header of the page, I want to execute the script. I can do so with a
link, but that's not the desired method.

I just can't seem to remember how to do this and of course scrowing the
interweb yields all kinds of links that are just not relevant. Probably the
search criteria.

Anyway, can someone jog this old dog's memory please?

Thanks...

run a server-side script in a browser ... sounds oxymoronic to me.
Unless you're thinking about using AJAX or JSON to retrieve the results
of a page that's run on a server ...

AFAIK, with pre-.Net ASP (don't know about ASP.Net) an ASP page can only be
included in another ASP page.
