ASP within javascript

[Targa]

How can I pull this ASP var into javascript?
What is wrong with this statement?

<%
todaysdate = (now)
response.write (todaysdate)
%>
<script language="JavaS cript"><!--
var date = new Date();
var aspdate = <%=todaysdate %>
document.write( aspdate);
//--></script>

You mix up your terminology!

Javascript does not mean clientside, as ASP can also use j(ava)script.

ASP does not mean VBscript per se, see above,
[and VBscript can also be used clientside in IE]

ASP vbs:

todaysdate = now
response.write todaysdate

ASP jscript:

todaysdate = new Date();
Response.write( todaysdate);

<script type="text/JavaScript">

not used

Is just a string, no javascript date, you write
[color=blue]
> //--></script>[/color]

</script>
[color=blue]
>
>[/color]

todaysdate has spaces, so:

var aspdate = "<%=todaysd ate %>"

Re: ASP within javascript

Not much, maybe you should add ; at the end of

var aspdate = <%=todaysdate %>

though that shouldn't be the problem. Have you looked at the document
source to see if the value is really written to the document?
Besides that it looks fine to me.

This does not work if todaysdate has whitespace between words.


var aspdate = "<%=todaysd ate %>"
