Expected end of statement error

[Ireland1978]

Hi,

Can anyone see the problem with this line of code, I'm a beginner at ASP so haven't a clue!

var to_do = String(Request("to_do"));

I'm getting this error message:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/MyWeb/test.asp, line 9

var to_do = String(Request("to_do"));
------------------------------------^

Thanks

i think aq string() function requires two arguments...
something like String(number,character)...

not sure what you are trying to do here though...

This is interesting:

Microsoft [!]VBScript[/!] compilation error '800a0401'

especially when looking at the formatting of your code

Very cryptic

what damber is alluding to is;

it looks like you are using JScript syntax while telling the interpreter you are using VbScript.
