VBScript inside a JS file

[bmdev]

Hello,

I'm trying to reference a session variable inside a Javascript routine which is inside an include file XXX.js. I can put the same code in my asp page in some Javascript and it works fine.

var var1 = "<%=Session("SomeValue")%>";

I keep getting an error that I'm missing a "}"

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Since the external Javascript file doesn't have an ASP extension, any ASP inside it is not processed on the server. If you want ASP in an external JS file processed, you need to include it on the page, not load it as an external script file. Otherwise it will be loaded on the client computer and run there.

I don't believe that the include file is parsed by the server because you are including it from the client-side.

Can you inlcude it like this

<!-- #include file="../includes/myJS.inc" -->

You have to use <script> tags in it like a regular HTML page when you include it.
