Response.Write of "

Response.Write "<option value=&#34;" & i+1 & "&#34;>" & aOptions(i) & "</option>"

How do you write a " with ASP. I cant seem to find this anywhere and it is proving annoying :)

[bakedjake]

Use two of them together.

so to write a " you have to write

"""

?

Cheers Jake

[bakedjake]

Exactly. :) I was confusing myself - they're already called double quotes, and I couldn't figure out how to tell you what I wanted to. :)

[ukgimp]

Cool

Thanks, what a response time :)

To just insert a ", you need """". The first one starts the literal string. The next two translate to a " inside the string. The final one closes the string. Confusing as heck, I know. So any time you put "" inside a string, it doesn't close it, instead it inserts one " into the string.

[bakedjake]

Right, but you only use the four quotes when you want to simply output one quote, and close the string.

You'd use the two quotes inside of a string when you want to output one quote, and keep the string open (which I think was what ukgimp was doing).

[ukgimp]

what you trying to do to me lol

I will have to experiment now, now I have a rough idea. Why cant we just have php style

"\""

:)

My approach to this has always been chr(34). I go as far as const cQT = chr(34), but usually along with others like line feeds and stuff.

[aspdaddy]

I have always used single quotes for this, simply because it works first time :)

Response.Write "<option value='" & i+1 & "'>" & aOptions(i) & "</option>"

[ukgimp]

Response.Write "<option value=""" & i+1 & """>" & aOptions(i) & "</option>"

After a bit of experimentation. Might go with single in future but it is good to know anyhow.

cheers
