Why can't I escape quotes?

[TheDust]

I'm an ASP.NET programmer... I have no real experience developing in ASP, but I'm trying to edit some old code for a client to simply output some different HTML code. Can someone tell me why the following line breaks the page? I'm trying to escape the quotes where needed and it's just not working...

<% response.write "<a href=\"javascript:PopupPic('" & rs("pImage") & "')\">" %>

<% response.write "<a href=""javascriptopupPic('" & rs("pImage") & "')"">" %>

u use "" to escape a "

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Thanks! I looked all over the net for that small piece of info and got nowhere. Much appreciation.

You already use douple quotes to open & close the response.write statement.

Response.Write " ........ "

If you have another " inside statement, the scrip will think that you want to close the statement.

So, you need to replace " with "" or just '

LIke this:

<% response.write "<a href='javascript:PopupPic('" & rs("pImage") & "')'>" %>

OR
<% response.write "<a href=""javascript:PopupPic('" & rs("pImage") & "')"">" %>

Hope this help.
