Hi,
I am working on converting my very cheesy "inactive members" mod and I am having some difficulty converting some of my lines to "Response writes"

Here is an example of one of the lines I am having a problem with:


<td align=center bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><% =ChkDate(rs("M_LASTHEREDATE")) %></font></td>

<td align=center bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>"><a href="JavaScript:openWindow('pop_warn_mail.asp?id=<% =rs("MEMBER_ID") %>')"><img src="icon_email.gif" height=15 width=15 alt="Send <% = ChkString(rs("M_NAME"),"display") %> a Warning E-Mail" border="0" align="absmiddle" hspace="6"></a>


I am specifically having difficulty with where the ""'s go. I realize that the HTML should be wrapped in quotes, but beyond that (double, triple quotes) I start to lose grasp of WTF I am doing...

Any help with this is greatly appreciated. If someone could just give me a brief explanation, I am sure I can figure it out.

Thanks!

Just replace all of the double quotes that exist now with two double quotes and place it in a Response.Write("stuffgoeshere"). However, where you have <%= you will have to do some manipulating.

So, let's say you had <td bgcolor="red">. That would now be Response.Write("<td bgcolor=""red"">").

Let's say you had <td bgcolor="<% =strForumColor %>">. That would now be Response.Write("<td bgcolor=""" & strForumColor & """>"). Why? Well, in the non-response.write example, the red double quotes represent quotes around an html tag property. Those type of quotes have to be "escaped" by two double quotes when placed in a response.write. So, in the response.write example the two red double quotes are the "escaped" tag property quotes. However, the green double quotes are the quotes that must be wrapped around strings within a response.write.

Did that make any sense?

OK,
I have this line:

Response.Write	"	<a href=""pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=""" & rs("MEMBER_ID") & """>" & vbNewLine

and it is creating a link like this:

http://www.sitename.com/forum/pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=

Do I have too many quotes at the end?

I believe it should be like this

Response.Write	"	<a href=""pop_profile.asp?mode=display&id=" & rs("MEMBER_ID") & """>" & vbNewLine

See how the red quotes are around the entire href property?
