error with variable declaration

[Kevin]

Hi,

My problem is:
when i declare variable 'recuur' in Jscript like it is below, no problem.
But if i declare 'recuur' like: var recuur=<%=recuu r%>
then i get two errors:
"totday is not defined" and "syntax error: var recuur=10"

Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks
Kevin



<%
totday=request. cookies("totday ") => =14
.....
sql="select range from hr order by range;"
set rs=Server.Creat eObject("ADODB. Recordset")
rs.open sql, OBJDC, 3, 3
dim allhr
Set rs = objdc.execute(s ql)
if not rs.eof then
allhr = rs.GetRows()
recuur = UBound(allhr, 2) + 1 => =10
end if
....
%>
.....
<script type="text/javascript">
totday=<%=totda y%>
recuur=<%=recuu r%>
....

Show the actual code that gets sent to the browser, not the ASP Code
that generates it.

Re: error with variable declaration

I found it.
I was wrong: '<%=totday%>' had no value because the cookie had the wrong
name.
But what i still don't understand, is why the next line (var
recuur=<%=recuu r%>) is considered as an syntax error and not without 'var'.
If i insert ALERT between the two lines like this:
totday=<%=totda y%>
alert("ok")
var recuur=<%=recuu r%>

i get no error. Strange isn't it?

Re: error with variable declaration

As Randy said, jsut check the JS code created by your ASP pages... Also it
looks like you forgot ; at the end of each line...

The ; at the end of the line is optional and has no bearing on syntax
errors.

It depends on what the server is sending to the browser. You have to
check the code generated by the server (not the server side code) when
trying to debug client-side script issues.

What Randy means is that you need to load the page into your browser and
click View Source so you can see the final resulting javascript code.
