Hi there,

Familiar problem. You think you are assigning the value of one variable to 
another, so you don't need quotes. But you are actually assigning a string 
literal (based on an ASP variable) to a JavaScript var. Enclose the value 
in quotes, and it should work:

var isActive = '<%=session("active")%>';

Beware that JavaScript is case-sensitive. You said your value should 
be "no", but you are checking for "No".
