Hello,,
I am using a javascript menu where the Caption of the page to redirect is given and the url for this page is to be taken dynamically from the database.
I can access the database and get the values using asp. But how to pass this url and caption to the javascript menu function because i am not getting the asp variables inside javascript

Thank you...

You can pass variables to JavaScript by writing to the script on the page with your ASP:

<script language=javascript>
var variable1 = '<%="hello"%>';
</script>

My ASP may be a bit messed up, as I don't know ASP very well.

Let me know if it works for you.

The above JavaScript by Snib is correct; you can use a variable like above to place in your javascript, just remember that you have to have a string around the ASP like so:

'<%=strVariable%>';

Also note that you can't pass JavaScript to ASP.

the syntax is correct BUT it do'nt work for me !
Is there any idea ?

Can you post the line where you actually use that?

If you are using a variable, also post where that variable get's its value from, maybe that will shed some light on the subject.

<SCRIPT language=javaSCRIPT>

var howpage ='<%="iPageCount"%>';
    if( howpage>2){
        document.frm1.cmdsubmit.style.visibility="visible" ;
        }
    else
    {
        document.frm1.cmdsubmit.style.visibility="hidden";
    }

</SCRIPT>

iPageCount is PageCount of the Recordset Object

BUT If I wrote :

var howpage =3;
    if( howpage>2){
        document.frm1.cmdsubmit.style.visibility="visible" ;
        }
    else
    {
        document.frm1.cmdsubmit.style.visibility="hidden";
    }

</SCRIPT>
 It work correctly !

How do you think about that !
Thank you for your reply

When you look at the source of the page in the browser, what do you see?

Does howpage get a valid value?

Everyone is unique, except for me.

My guess is that it gets set to the string "iPageCount". I think what you want to replace the line
var howpage = '<%="iPageCount"%>';

with

var howpage = '<%=iPageCount%>';

HTH,

Good catch, eagle-eye!! I completely overlooked that one.

Cheers,
