quotation mark problems...

elladi · December 23rd, 2004, 05:51 PM

I dont think this is a pro topic but no one is answering on the regular board so I am wondering if anyone here can help...

This maybe simple but for some reason I am having problems with all the quotation marks...I need to put this command into a string variable - to be executed later on but I am having problems any suggestions or tips, here is the code:

mm_menu_womens_0.addMenuItem(mm_menu_womens_0_3,"l ocation='categoryind.asp?categoryid=3'");

I want this piece of code to go into the string rootmenulist...as I loop through the list I will keep on adding on commands to this string and then execute it later....

Hi elladi,

If you're inside a server side ASP string, and need to send a double quote to the JavaScript string, then you should double your double quotes, like this:

Code:

Dim myString
myString = "var myVar = ""Hello"";"
Response.Write(myString)

This will end up as

Code:

var MyVar = "Hello";

in the resulting HTML / Javascript.

I don't think you need to execute your code; if you write it out at the right location inside a client side JavaScript block using the server side Response.Write statement, your code will run automatically....:

Code:

<%
Dim myString
myString = "Bla bla bla, your menu code goes here"
%>
<html>
<head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    <%= myString %>
  </script>
<head>
... rest of the page goes here

Does this help?
