Sundar,

try something like this:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%
With Response
	.write("<script language=""javascript"">")
	.write("var sAction = " & chr(34) & Request.QueryString("action") &
chr(34))
	.write("</script>")
End With
%>

Phil

In my .aspx page I have:

<script language="javascript">

var sAction = <%= chr(34) & request.querystring("action") & chr(34) %>

</script>

This works in asp, not in asp.net.

Why?
