Reserve Characters and ZIP Code values 1

[tmcneil]

I have a form that retrieves a zip code using Request.Form method. This form has a button that I would like to pass the value of the zip code to a javascript function that will contain a window.open method. The problem is that say if I enter a zip code that starts with a "0", like 04910. Then the "0" is dropped from the value when it goes to the javascript function.

ASP form code

zipcode = Request.Form("zipcode")

 <input type="submit" value="Yes" onClick="openWin(<%=zipcode%>)" />

javascript call

function openWin(zip) 
{
    alert("zip: " + zip);
    //window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3schools.com");[/URL]
    /*window.open(<i>URL,name,specs,replace</i>);*/
}

The value shown in the alert box is '4910' instead of 04910. So, is zero a reserve character and how do I make sure that preceeding zeros get passed to javascript?

tsuji,

That's right, I need a string. Big help since I thought I was going to have to write a lot of code.
