Actually, they are about the same.
<%%> is a shortcut, but with <% and %> you can do <%=varname%> which is a shortcut for <%response.write(varname)%>. Just placing =varname on a line within the <SCRIPT> tag does not work.
Another thing is that <% %> respects the default language you set up in IIS control panel. And that the ASP parser first evaluates all the <SCRIPT> tags and then the <%> tags (NOT SEQUENTIALLY) or the other way around.. I am not quite sure which one it is.
Maybe there's something else which I don't know of... Yours,
Rob.

You are right.
You know what ?
I actually had something like this inside <SCRIPT> tag.
It always wrote the above outside the closing </HTML> tag at the very bottom, when I viewed the source from the browser.
WHen I wrote the same thing within <%%> I discovered that they were written inside the <BODY></BODY> tag, the right place where I intended them to be.
This is the reason, I asked the question.
Thank you very much.
