hello

in my asp i have a variable called Enquiry, which holds a value.
I'd like, on the onlick of the save button to return the Enquiry variable in an alert ?

how can i ?

thanks

It effectively means hard-coded it at loadtime.
[tt] onclick="alert('<%=Enquiry%>')"[/tt]
If you mean something else, it won't do.

Have you tried it like this?

<input type="button" name="mybutton" value="Save" onclick="alert('<%=Enquiry%>');">

It's just a matter of inserting the asp value where you need it and you do that by using the asp script tags with the = before the variable.

Unterminated string constant

Response.Write "  <input type=""submit"" name=""SAVE"" onclick=""alert('<% =Enquiry
----------------------------^

Since you are doing a response.write on the string directly from ASP do it like this:
Response.Write " <input type=""submit"" name=""SAVE"" onclick=""alert('" & Enquiry & "');"

If you are inserting the asp value into the HTML you would use the asp script tags but since you are already working in asp you just concantenate the value onto the string.

thank you everyone

Whoops, missed the tail end there. Here is the full string.

response.Write "  <input type=""submit"" name=""SAVE"" onclick=""alert('" & Enquiry & "');"">"

I neglected to close off the tag and quotes.

great thanks

I am getting a similar problem now with

Response.Write "<script>location.href = ctsURL("Summary.asp") & "&EnquiryID=" & Enquiry & 
"&target=Summary.asp?id2=" & request("id2")</script>"

i put ""Summary.asp"" which seemed to sort that part but then i get invalid character for the ?

thanks for your help

What is ctsURL() before somebody send you to asp forum?

 

[lorca]

don't know...............3rd party software, hence all the response.writes i have to do !

 

[tsuji]

don't know...............3rd party software
Even 3rd party software has to document its function...

Try this, otherwise you really have to go to asp forum for vbs syntax.
[tt]
Response.Write "<script>location.href = [red]" & [/red]ctsURL("Summary.asp") & "&EnquiryID=" & Enquiry & "&target=Summary.asp[red]" & escape("[/red]?id2="[red])[/red] & [red]escape([/red]request("id2")[red]) & "[/red]</script>"
[/tt]
(no line-break).

 

[tsuji]

Or you may have to further enclose the right-hand side by quotes like this.
[tt]
Response.Write "<script>location.href = [red]""[/red]" & ctsURL("Summary.asp") & "&EnquiryID=" & Enquiry & "&target=Summary.asp" & escape("?id2=") & escape(request("id2")) & "[red]""[/red]</script>"
[/tt]
