hi guys,
how do I display "." by using response.write() in asp? i mean including the quotation mark.

In VBScript you need to double the quotes to escape them...

Code:

Call Response.Write(""".""")

In JScript, escape them with a backslash...

Code:

Response.Write("\".\"");

HTH,

Chris

The way that I do this in VBScript takes a few extra characters for a line, and is just a personal preference. I use the Chr() function to insert the quote character in the string. The line below would look like:

Code:

Response.Write(Chr(34) & "." & Chr(34))

I don't use it very often, only when I really NEED a quote on the page.
