How do I pass a classic asp variable to JS

[penguinspeaks]

How do I show a classic asp variable in a javascript link??

<script>
var variable = <%=varid%>
window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]https://ferrens.info/MUSIC/PDF2.ASP?id="+variable);[/URL]

</script>

I have tried

<script type='text/javascript>
var variable = '<%=variable%>';
</script>

But it will not allow me to close the script tag with the asp in the script. It shows yellow in Expression.

I have been pulling hair out, teeth out, and everything else on this.

Ideas??
TIA




Thanks,

Please keep in mind that I am using classic ASP with MySQL database. Not sure if that information helps or not.
