pass data from asp to javascript in the same page

[Tim]

How can I pass ASP variables to javascript variables
(in the same page)?

Thanx in advance.

Here is an example which puts the value of a VBScript variable into a JavaScript
alert box:

Response.Write "<script language='JavaScript'>alert('The value is " & MyVBScriptVariable
& "');</script>"

Best regards,

Hi Tim,

Here is a simple way to use a variable declared in ASP in JavaScript:

<%

Dim varASP 'a variable in asp
varASP = "Some value"
%>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function ShowValue() {
window.alert('<% = varASP %>')
}
-->
</SCRIPT>

Just make sure that the asp variable is declared and initialized before being
used in the JavaScript part.

Hope this one helps !
Dylan.

Yes,
All above methods work fine, but I still believe in:

<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
varName = "<%=strName%>"
...
...
</SCRIPT>

This actually 'copies' the variable to client side that can be 'used' anywhere
in client side
