getting unterminated string error

[samflex]

Can someone, please tell me why I am getting this unterminated string error message.
Thanks in advance:

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://t6/reports/traffi/displayCounts.asp?id=<%=RS("id")%>"><%=RS("id")%>','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>[/URL]

 

[simonchristieis]

you have got one too many rs details

try this

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('

http://t6/reports/traffi/displayCou...llbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>

still getting same error message = unterminated string.

 

[simonchristieis]

Are you using asp?

what is displayed after the page has been parsed?

 

[samflex]

Yes!

 

[simonchristieis]

yes??

please give me the info, or I can't help you, what is displayed once the page has been served?

Is the a single or double quote in the record returned?

 

[samflex]

I had responded to the first question = Yes.

here is what i am getting:

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('<a href="displayCounts.asp?id=<%=rscounts("id")%>">','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>

 

[simonchristieis]

The reason you are getting the error is that this code is not being parsed by the server:

<%=rscounts("id")%>

and the " are signalling the end of the statement.

thats why I asked if you were running asp

You might also need to check the window.open function as that function will be expecting a url, not a anchored link statement

ie:

not

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('<a href="displayCounts.asp?id=<%=rscounts("id")%>">','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>

but

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('displayCounts.asp?id=<%=rscounts("id")%>','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>

('displayCounts.asp?id=<%=rscounts("id")%>','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">

I can't see any difference between what you suggested I use and I am currently using.
Either, it is still not working.

Thanks for your efforts, though.

Remove the piece that is in red:

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('<a href="displayCounts.asp?id=<%=rscounts("id")%>[COLOR=red]">[/color]','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>

If you are getting this after the page has parsed:

<td class="name" width="10%" align="center" valign="top"><font size="-1"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('<a href="displayCounts.asp?id=<%=rscounts("id")%>">','','width=500,height=200,scollbars,resizable=yes')">Enter</a></font></td>

then the asp has not been parsed, perhaps you should check this

 

[samflex]

I did that even before my first post.
I believe simonchristieis made similar suggestion.
I am still getting same error.

1) is the error occuring ont he server or is it a client scripting error?

2) have you viewed the output (view source) to see how the tag is being generated?

3) have you considered cleaning the code up and creating client script function to make this horrid line easier to debug and maintain?
