The link is dynamic. I really need to get onto the server so I can see how he put that code in my Javascript. I am having trouble connecting to his server with the info he gave me.

Thanks for the help, I just wish I could give you a straight answer on this. I think the VBS script-link-thing needs to run outside of the Jscript.

If the page is run on a webserver that processes the asp, everything should work ok.

The VBScript will be processed before the javascript is written to the page, so the link should get rendered as required.

It seems that the quotes are what screws it up, When the open quotes start the html expression, they close out before the 'courseID' variable. I think thats why its not being processed first.

Will having something like this work?>

var linkPage = course.asp?courseID=<%=(courseContent...

~~~~~
function GoToURL(){
if (self.status=="OK to proceed!")
{
        open("linkPage","_self")
}else....

Or do I have to change the syntax in the "open("linkPage"... part?

Ok, we tried the last bit o code and that does not work either.

Any ideas?

linkPage is a variable, so you don't need it in quotes...

Ok, still not working.

I got an idea though. I posted the code for the ASP page it goes in so you can see it in its native location.

That may give a clearer picture to what may be causing this not to work.

Thanks for all of the input, this site rocks.

Ok, now I am getting whats going on.

The code in this variable breaks the Javascript;

var nextPage = course.asp?courseID=<%=(courseContent.Fields.Item( "courseID").Value)%>&chapterNum=<%=(courseContent. Fields.Item(//"chapterNum").Value)%>&contentSection=<%=(courseCo ntent.Fields.Item("forwardSection").Value)%>

I did find that the output in the source file now reads:
var nextPage = course.asp?courseID=300&chapterNum=1&contentSectio n=2
var nextTest = chapterTest.asp?courseID=300&chapterNum=1

..so it means it is doing what it is supposed to be doing but it breaks the Javascript somehow.

Now I am really stumped

This is not valid JavaScript:

var nextPage = course.asp?courseID=300&chapterNum=1&contentSectio n=2

Change the ASP code so the JavaScript ends up like this:

var nextPage = 'course.asp?courseID=300&chapterNum=1&contentSecti on=2';
