I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to pass an asp session variable to a local variable withing a javascript function. Something like this:

var zip = <%=Session("clzip")%>

but it's the quotes around "clzip" that is throwing a syntax error I think. I've tried single quotes and no quaotes. Can't get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?

First, if you are trying to get the session variable from the browser after the browser has loaded the page, you can't. At that time the server-side processing is completed.

You can however have the asp write the entire js html to your browser.

If it's a textual variable and you need to quote it in the html, try this.
<%
response.write "var zip = ' " & Session("clzip") & " ' "
%>

at the proper place in your asp page.

btw, I added spaces between the quotes so you can read them, don't put them in final code.
