Hi...
I'm stumpted and need help....

I have an ASP page that calls a link to a java popup script from a database
<a href='<%=Products.Value("trailerLink")%>'>

the link in the database looks like this...
javascript:popup('http://www.servername.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=384')

the script works fine when called from plain HTML, but when the link is called from the DB... no luck

Thanks!

Sounds like a simple syntax error, what does the link look like:
1..on the asp page
2..in the browser

;;;I have an ASP page that calls a link to a java popup script from a database <a href='<%=Products.Value("trailerLink")%>'>

That link wont open a new window

ASP: <a href='<%=Products.Value("trailerLink")%>'>
DB: javascript:popup("http://www.remoteserver.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=386")
browser: javascript:popup(%22http://www.remoteserver.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=386%22)

Thanks!

;;;javascript:popup("http://www.remoteserver.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=386")

This is what's in the DB field? If so I would suggest only placing the following in there:

http://www.remoteserver.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=386

Then in your ASP page put:
<A HREF="#" onClick="popup('<%=Products.Value("trailerLink")%> ');">

I assume your popup Function works?

BTW: in your first post you said the DB value was:
javascript:popup('http://www.servername.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=384')
Then your second podt it was:
javascript:popup("http://www.remoteserver.com/vvs/detect.aspx?c=386")

Which on is it?
