Putting Session Data In A VBScript

I'm trying to create a VBScript using ASP. However I'm having
problems getting data from session variables into the right places.
The example I have copied below works, however I need to replace
"data1" and "data2" with real data from a session variable.

However if I replace this:

Call OpenDoc("data1" , "data2")

With this:

Call OpenDoc(<%=sess ion("var1")%>, <%=session("var 2")%>)

It breaks.
<html>
<head>
<script language=vbscri pt>
Sub button_onclick( )
Call OpenDoc("data1" , "data2")
End Sub

Sub OpenDoc(v1, v2)
msgbox v1
msgbox v2
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type=button name=button value="Click">
</body>
</html>

Any ideas?

TIA,

Colin

How about;

data1 = session("var1")
data2 = session("var2")

Call OpenDoc("data1" , "data2")

or

data1 = Request.Form("v ar1")
data2 = Request.Form("v ar2")

Call OpenDoc("data1" , "data2")

What "breaks" about it? What shows up in a view-source, as this is a client
side routine you're calling. Are the argument you're passing in there? Are
they string values that need to be in quotes, but are instead being
interpreted as variables, perhaps?

And it should.
You put strings without "" as parameters for a clientside function call

You will end up with nonsense like:

Call OpenDoc(this is not a string, because it is undelimited)

in stead of:

Call OpenDoc("this is a string", "delimited too")
Try this:

Call OpenDoc("<%=ses sion("var1")%>" , "<%=session("va r2")%>")

Always view-source your asp output, if such things go wrong.

Bingo!

That was exactly the problem. I made the change you suggested and its
now working as I had originally intended.

That said I've just discovered (by accident) that it worked the other
way too, but only if I passed it a number.
<html>
<head>
<script language=vbscri pt>
Sub button_onclick( )
Call OpenDoc("<%=Ses sion("var1")%>" , "<%=Session("va r2")%>")
End Sub

Sub OpenDoc(v1, v2)
msgbox v1
msgbox v2
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type=button name=button value="Click">
</body>
</html>
Thanks for tipping me off (+ other_contribut ors)!

Hi, I've a problem with trying to retrieve a session variable in an include file.
