Can someone help me with quote syntax? The single quotes with javascript
function are messing me up.

CODE
---------
response.write ""<a href=""javascript:
VerifyDelete1('del-message.asp?fid=" iActiveForumId1 & "&mode=" & thread &
"&tid=" & iId "');">" & "<img src=""images/xsm-delete.gif"" width=""10""
height=""10"" border=""0"" alt=""Delete Message""></a></td>"

This may be easier:

....
%>
<a href="java script: VerifyDelete1('del-message.asp?fid=
<%= iActiveForumId1%>
&mode=
<%=thread %>
"&tid=
<%=iId%>
');>
<img src="images/xsm-delete.gif" width="10"
height="10" border="0" alt="Delete Message"></a></td>

However, if you MUST do it in a single response.write, my preference would
be to assign the string to a variable and response.write the variable ... it
makes the code a little cleaner:

<%
dim sHTML
....
sHTML= "<a href=""java script: " & _
"VerifyDelete1('del-message.asp?fid=" & iActiveForumId1 & _
"&mode=" & thread & "&tid=" & iId & "');"">" & vbcrlf & _
"<img src=""images/xsm-delete.gif"" width=""10"" " & _
"height=""10"" border=""0"" alt=""Delete Message""></a></td>"
....
%>
<html><body>
....
<%=sHTML%>
....

HTH,
Bob Barrows

Bob, can you help me again? I'm at a complete shutdown because of some
stupid quotes. Below in GOOD CODE, I have a mix of ASP/HTML that works. I'm
trying to
convert the GOOD CODE into all ASP, but I'm failing in BAD CODE.

BAD CODE:

sHTML=sHTML & "bgcolor=" & tblcolor & style=""cursor:default;""
onMouseOver="this.bgColor=""'#e6e6e6'"" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='" &
tblcolor & "'"

GOOD CODE:

<%
If sPageType = "forum" Then %>

bgcolor="<%= tblcolor %>" style="cursor:default;"
onMouseOver="this.bgColor='#e6e6e6'" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='<%= tblcolor
%>'"

<% End If %>>

Try (untested!) (on one line)

response.write "bgcolor=""<%= tblcolor %>"" style=""cursor:default;""
onMouseOver=""this.bgColor='#e6e6e6'"" onMouseOut=""this.bgColor='<%=
tblcolor %>'"""

There is a (VBS) HTML-To-String converter at
http://www.verifiedlearning.com/convertscripts.htm

Not bulletproof, but I use it for this common task.
Hope that helps
Giles
