I got to have a open in new window inside my response.write code. But...

I dont know how to change the format of the javascript.

I have a runatserver with the whole html in response.write. Before the runatserver i have the javascript openwindow function.
I know when you use html you change the " to ' but what about javascript, what do you change the javascript ' to?

The code in looks like this now, but shows error. I guess the format is the problem.
Response.Write("<a href='#'onClick='MM_openBrWindow('help.asp','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=550')'><img src='../images/info.gif' width='21' height='21' border='0'></a>"

The text you generate with your Response.Write statement is still HTML.

Instead of all the single quotes, substitute each double quote that normally occurs in HTML with TWO double quotes, like so:

Response.Write "<font color=""red"">whatever</font>"

Output:
<font color="red">whatever</font>

But what about the single quotes in javascript that describe the url and window size?

Response.Write("<a href='#'onClick='MM_openBrWindow('help.asp','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=550')'><img src='../images/info.gif' width='21' height='21' border='0'></a>"

Single quotes, including those used to enclose strings for the JS function, remain single quotes.

So I guess it would be:

Response.Write("<a href=""#"" onClick=""MM_openBrWindow('help.asp','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=550')""><img src=""../images/info.gif"" width=""21"" height=""21"" border=""0""></a>"

It's ugly and you need to test it to see if I haven't made a typo, but I think that's the idea.

Note: I also inserted a space between ='#' and onClick.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
a href='#'onClick=
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Thanks Akc!
Im working on this chat function, and the send botton will only work on clik, having to use the mouse each time can be irritating for the users.

Do you know how to get the send boton to work on "enter key".

The code looks like this now:
Response.Write("&lt;INPUT TYPE='BUTTON' NAME='buttonAct' VALUE='send' SIZE='4' ONCLICK='Act(this.form.Msg);'&gt;"

Thanks for your help and sory the trouble

I don't use JS events much (and am in the middle of grad school exams), so hopefully someone else will give you suggestions.

What I do notice is ONCLICK. I think JS-related tags are more strict than typical HTML ones: so it needs to be onClick.

Good luck!

u want 2 use the onkeypress event... the enter key's char code = 13 (i think... been awhile)
