Hey all,


I am using client side cookies to track if a user has been to my site before or not. In my html head section I call an asp.net subroutine shown below to decide whether my body tag has the onload method or not. If the user has a cookie then the body tag does not have an onload event and if the user does not have a cookie i have an onload event that calls a javascript function to pop-up my registration page also. The problem is that I can't seem to use the correct syntax in the Response.write method to write the javascript because of 2 apostrophie's needed in the syntax shown below. Could anyone show me the correct syntax so I don't recieve a javascript syntax error for first time users?

If IsNothing(Request.Cookies("cookieEmailAddress")) = True Then
Response.Write(&quot;<Body vLink='#0000c0' aLink='#0000c0' link='#0000c0' bgColor='#cccccc' onload='Javascript: window.open(' MS_POSITIONING='GridLayout'>&quot;)
Else
Response.Write(&quot;<Body vLink='#0000c0' aLink='#0000c0' link='#0000c0' bgColor='#cccccc'>&quot;)
End If

See the problem in the onload event with the 2 apostrophies?


Thanks all! Errol Barratt

take out the javascript: and you can use the &quot;&quot; &quot;&quot; to create the &quot; &quot;
like this
Response.Write(&quot;<Body vLink='#0000c0' aLink='#0000c0' link='#0000c0' bgColor='#cccccc' onload=&quot;&quot; window.open(' MS_POSITIONING='GridLayout'>&quot;)

Response.Write(&quot;<Body vLink='#0000c0' aLink='#0000c0' link='#0000c0' bgColor='#cccccc' onload='window.open(&quot;&quot; MS_POSITIONING='GridLayout'>&quot;) A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
