An alternative is:

<%@ Language="VBScr ipt" %>
<%
Session("iCount 1") = 1
Session("iCount 2") = 2
Session("iCount 3") = 3
Dim i, a(), s
For i = 0 To 2
ReDim Preserve a(i)
a(i) = Session("iCount "&i+1)
Next
s = Join(a,",")
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sessions .asp</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function alertIt() {
var sessionsArray = new Array(<%=s%>);
for (var i=0; i<3; i++) {
alert(sessionsA rray[i]);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="alertIt ()">
</body>
</html>

Re: ASP variables concatenated in js function

Thanks, very nice. That does work however the session variables in this case
are strings. I found that I can get the string by modifying this..

Session("iCount 1") = "number 1"
Session("iCount 2") = "number 2"
Session("iCount 3") = "number 3"

var sessionsArray = new Array(<%=s%>);
to this...
var sessionsArray = new Array('<%=s%>') ;

but then the alert brings up the array joined on the first alert, and the
following 2 alerts come up as undefined.

number1,number2 ,number3

What do you think?

Re: ASP variables concatenated in js function

This seems to work as I need it but I'm sure there's a more elegant method.
If not thanks, you have helped me alot.

<%@ Language="VBScr ipt" %>
<%
Session("iCount 1") = "number 1"
Session("iCount 2") = "number 2"
Session("iCount 3") = "number 3"
Dim i, a(), s, b
For i = 0 To 2
ReDim Preserve a(i)
a(i) = Session("iCount "&i+1)
Next
s = Join(a,"~")
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sessions .asp</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function alertIt() {
var sessionsArray = new Array('<%=s%>') ;
var sessionsArraySp lit = sessionsArray.t oString().split ("~");
for (var i=0; i<sessionsArray Split.length; i++){
alert(sessionsA rraySplit[i]);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="alertIt ()">
</body>
</html>

Try:

var sessionsArray = "<%=s%>".split( ",");

Re: ASP variables concatenated in js function

If you always only have three variables, why use an array? Why not
something straightforward like this? (Note the ASP portion is in
VBScript below. Change ampersand to plus sign for Javascript.)

var sessConcatenate d = '<%
Response.write( Session("iCount 1") & ", ")
Response.write( Session("iCount 2") & ", ")
Response.write( Session("iCount 3"))
%>';
alert(sessConca tenated);

Re: ASP variables concatenated in js function

It's a little more complicated than that, The example I gave was extremely
condensed for legibility here in the forum. The number of sessions will be
different for every user and they could get quite large.

If you want to use a clientside array:

=============== ========

<%@ language="vbscr ipt"%>
<% ' Using serverside asp-vbscript and clientside javascript: %>

<script type='text/javascript'>

clientsidearray = new Array(<%
for sessionvarcount =1 to maxsessionvar
Response.write "'" & Session("iCount "&sessionvarcou nt) & "'"
if sessionvarcount <maxsessionva r then Response.write ","
next
%>);

alert( clientsidearray .join('#') );

</script>

=============== ========

<%@ language="javas cript"%>
<% // Using serverside asp-jscript and clientside javascript: %>

<script type='text/javascript'>

clientsidearray = new Array(<%
for(sessionvarc nt=1;sessionvar cnt<=maxsession var;sessionvarc nt++){
Response.write( "'" + Session("iCount "+sessionvarcnt ) + "'");
if(sessionvarcn t<maxsessionvar )Response.write (",");
};
%>);

alert( clientsidearray .join('#') );

</script>

=============== =========
