CAn some one help me out with this javascript (ahh!!)
This is the line :

Response.write('<A HREF="javascript:newGuidanceWindow(qmsadditionalin fo.asp?doc_id='+ escape(d1.data[i].doc_id)+')">');

This is the function that i'm calling:

function newGuidanceWindow(newWin,name, features) {

newWin =window.open( newWin, 'my_window','toolbar=no,titlebar=no,location=no,di rectories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,re sizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=300,height=300');
}
</script>

I know that the function works outside the <% %> syntax of ASP. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You should use " not ' as a string delimter, you also need to double any which you actually want in the string.

i.e.

response.write("hello")

writes

hello

response.write("hello ""this is a test""....")

writes

hello "this is a test"....

easiest way if you have trouble is to just break out of the ASP

blah blah
%>
<A HREF="java script:newGuidanceWindow(qmsadditionalinfo.asp?doc_id=<%=escape(d1.data[i].doc_id)%>)">
<%
some more code

or the other way (like your doing now);

response.write "<A HREF=""java script:newGuidanceWindow(qmsadditionalinfo.asp?doc_id=" & escape(d1.data[i].doc_id) & ")"">"

hope this makes sense...

If you are using javascript on the server then either double or single quotes as a delimiter is fine. You esape them using a backslash and not by doubling them:


Response.Write("hello \"this is a test\"....")

What is the error you are recieving?

erm doubling works too...

[duckworth]

Then why does this:

<%@ Language=Javascript %>
<%
Response.write("hello ""this is a test""....") ;
%>

Result in this:

Error Type:
Microsoft JScript compilation (0x800A03EE)
Expected ')'
/test.asp, line 3, column 23
Response.write("hello ""this is a test""....") ;
