Proper way to write this...

[Saiful]

Hi All

What is the proper way to write a Href statement using Response.write.

I need to write this:-
<%Response.Write("<a href="../MainContents.asp/">Back to Home</a>")%>


But due to the double quotes existing within inside the reference location,
I am not getting the right page. Please ,anyone, tell me the correct way
to write a response.write for a href location as in above.


rgds,
Saiful

Sauful,

How's it going. Here is how you do it~

VBScript
=========
Response.Write "<A Href=""test../MainContents.ASP"">"
Use double quotes when you need to embed within quotes

JavaScript
============
Response.Write("A Href=\"test../MainContents.ASP\">")
use the "Wack" to hide the inner " the wack is a cancel character.

Hope this helps!

you could use chr(34) when you need to wrap a string with a quote mark.

Response.Write("<a href=" & chr(34) & "../MainContents.asp/" & chr(34) &
">Back to Home</a>")

Hi Saiful

The best way to write the same code os as follows.


<%Response.Write('<a href="../MainContents.asp/">Back to Home</a>')%>

Try this and let me know. You can also use the AScii character for this qoute,
but this method should also work..

That isn't going to work because ' is the VB/VBScript comment delimiter

True, but if you use ' to delimit the inner string it WOULD work...

as in:

<%Response.Write("<a href='../MainContents.asp/'>Back to Home</a>")%>

(because HTML isn't as picky as VBScript)

Russ,

No because the vbscript.dll will think everything after the first ' is a
comment and give you a syntax error. The best way to write it is
<%Response.Write("<a href=""../MainContents.asp/"">Back to Home</a>")%>

The double double quote is the escape character for double quotes in
strings.
