Get URL form user & display to page - Not Working.

[MissouriTiger]

I'm attempting to display a link to HTML page. Name of site will appear, address will be in code. Both items come from user input. The name appears on page and pretends to be a hot link, but when you click it - Nothing! Here's my code. I would much appreciate if you would point out my mistake?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
<!--
OPTION EXPLICIT
document.bgcolor=&quot;DBDB70&quot;
document.write &quot;<BR><CENTER><FONT SIZE=7 FACE=arial COLOR=brown><B><STRONG>Problem 12</STRONG></B></FONT></CENTER><BR><BR><BR><BR>&quot;

Dim strURL
strURL=InputBox(&quot;Please enter the URL (Web address) of your favorite Website.&quot

Dim strName
strName=InputBox(&quot;What is the name of the Website?&quot

document.write &quot;<BR><CENTER><FONT SIZE=5 FACE=arial COLOR=red><B><STRONG><A HREF=strURL>&quot; & strName & &quot;</A></STRONG></B></FONT></CENTER>&quot;

//-->
</SCRIPT>

You probably need to change the last document.write statement to this...

document.write &quot;<BR><CENTER><FONT SIZE=5 FACE=arial COLOR=red><B><STRONG><A HREF='&quot; & strURL & &quot;'>&quot; & strName &  &quot;</A></STRONG></B></FONT></CENTER>&quot;

Notice the single quotes used to surround the url and the strURL outside of the document.write. Basically, the way it was would literally try to send you to strURL not

http://www.whatever.com.

No, I'm trying your sugestion and it isn't working. It is now generating an error. It's worse than before. I don't get it.

I must be a total idiot. I typed it in and it didn't work. But when I paste in your code it works. So, thanks!
