I am trying to take preselected user choices stored as asp variable/session and enter them into a form field with Javascript.

The problem I run into is that the form populates with <%=....%> in the field rather than the value of the variable. If I remove the " " from the variable I get a javascript error.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Ex: So color one should populate with #FFFFFF (The value of the ASP variable) but instead I get <%=cPick1%>.

Here's the code I am using.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var FeatureValue1 = "";
var FeatureValue2 = "";
var FeatureValue3 = "";
var FeatureValue4 = "";



function CopyCurrent(form) {
if (form.copy.checked) {
InitSaveVariables(form);
frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = "<%=cPick1%>";
frmCopy.FeatureValue2.value = "<%=cPick2%>";
frmCopy.FeatureValue3.value = "<%=cPick3%>";
frmCopy.FeatureValue4.value = "<%=cPick4%>";


}
else {
frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = FeatureValue1;
frmCopy.FeatureValue2.value = FeatureValue2;
frmCopy.FeatureValue3.value = FeatureValue3;
frmCopy.FeatureValue4.value = FeatureValue4;


}
}
// End -->
</script>

Hi wake,

If this syntax <b>"&lt;%=cPick1%&gt;"</b> considers the ASP code as string and does not execute it properly try to write it in different way.

For example replace

frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = "&lt;%=cPick1%&gt;";
frmCopy.FeatureValue2.value = "&lt;%=cPick2%&gt;";
frmCopy.FeatureValue3.value = "&lt;%=cPick3%&gt;";
frmCopy.FeatureValue4.value = "&lt;%=cPick4%&gt;";

with:

frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = &lt;%= """" & cPick1 & """" %&gt;;
frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = &lt;%= """" & cPick2 & """" %&gt;;
frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = &lt;%= """" & cPick3 & """" %&gt;;
frmCopy.FeatureValue1.value = &lt;%= """" & cPick4 & """" %&gt;;

I hope this helps.
