Lets try this again

I don't know ASP, but in PHP and in most languages you have to list globals in the functions, or if you are passing values to the function the value/variables may have to be set in the function and call

function ($a, $b)
{
do stuff
}

print function(1, 2);

part 2: don't get what you mean, why do you want to display invisible text in an ASP page? You know PHP don't ya? similar guidelines, failing that fall back to JavaScript

I don't know ASP.NET either. How are your functions currently scoped? Are they in a class definition of some sort, or are they simply in another file? In the case of the former, you'll want to initialise your class and call one of its children; in the case of the latter, you'll want to include your other file, which presumably loads its contents into whatever namespace you're working in (global).

Let's see some code anyway.

I do not understand the second question at all.

Write a webservice instead of trying to do global functions. Webservices can be used by a website or by an exe. They are basically like writing global logic that can be loaded or used all over your site/program (since .NET tries to make them almost the same thing). I wish I had my ASP.NET webservice examples but it was almost 2 years ago that I wrote them.

OK let me try to word it diffrently...
You go to a page that comtains this code...

'But the "write_something()" function is in a diffrent file. For example....
'
Second part....
You open main.html and you done know it but it executes add_to_log.aspx.
How do I do that? I would perfer that you can have main.html on a diffrent server than add_to_log.aspx.
Can you help now?

webservice? tell me more.

use server side includes.

'

I would suggest though as you haven't got to grips with how to use includes, don't attempt to write code for webservices.

For both cases? how is it server side? it looks html

It's an SSI directive Server Side Includes

for the second question, I'm not sure what you are asking for. But,
1/ you can't have .html files that include asp/asp.net code unless you change the application mappings on the server.
2/ You can't use includes to pull in code/data from a remote server with asp/asp.net.
3/ You can't execute code from html files (see 1)

So I cant just give someone this code. If they put it in their HTML it wont work.
<!--#include virtual="http://www.host.com/log_this_site.aspx"-->'

correct, it won't work

So what would be the best idea to solve the second case? The best idea i have is a IFRAME. But then people whould be like what is this??

It depends on what you are actually trying to acheive by including the file. You can't execute functions from one site on another. All that can be included is the output from the script.

I dont want output from the file. The file will run compleatly on the server and will not send anything back to the html page.

just explain exactly what you are trying to do.
Bearing in mind that ASP code can only run on the server that it is located.

Ok, I'm working hard on a log for my site. I want to eather let people buy it or let them use it for free but the ASP will be on my server. So they just insert a line of code into their html page and it will regester a hit for their site on my server.

right now it makes sense. That's not a major problem. Several ways it can be done depending of course on what kind of data you wish to store.
I have a script (in ASP, haven't got around to .net as yet) here ASP tracking Script. This is set as it stands to be called as a subroutine from a local page.
However it is a simple conversion to have it on a page and use a XMLHTTP call to "POST" data to it from ASP or PHP server-side or javascript client-side and pass some parameters including a UserID for the calling site.

extreme-dm do similar with javascript so you are not breaking new ground BTW, and if you want to see what data they collect you'll find someone's tracker here. There is also one here that I came across a few months ago at 2enetWorx.
