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.

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

or the other way (like your doing now);
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?


-John lemp

erm doubling works too...

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""....") ;
----------------------^

Becuase I was talking about VBScript....
