writing " in asp instead of ""

[fran7]

Hi, from help in the javascript forum I found the error in some code but need help. This bit of code works perfectly, trouble is I am writing it to a javascript function so the height needs to be in "" instead of "" otherwise I get an error message.

Can anyone suggest how to write it so that it writes " instead of "".
I have tried all combinations of adding " to the code but as soon as I think I am there I get throw out again.

if CurrentRatio > TargetRatio then ' We'll scale height
strResize = "width=""" & intDesiredWidth & """"
else
strResize = "height=""" & intDesiredHeight & """" ' We'll scale width
end if
else
strResize = ""
end if
 
ImageResize = strResize

I got to this point and it wrote the "to the page but kept the inner "", when I took them out I got asp errors again.

strResize = "height= " """ & intDesiredHeight & """"" ' We'll scale width
end if
else
strResize = ""
end if

Is there a function that could tell it to write the " differently.
Any help would be great before I pull my hair out!
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

You could use a different set of chars to represent the quote marks. Try something like the following which uses &qt instead:

 
if CurrentRatio > TargetRatio then ' We'll scale height
strResize = "width=&qt" & intDesiredWidth & "&qt"
else 
strResize = "height=&qt" & intDesiredHeight & "&qt" ' We'll scale width
end if
else
strResize = ""
end if
 
ImageResize = strResize
 

Then when you've passed this variable to your javascript code you can replace all the &qt's with double quote's.

Let me know if this helps,

Dr B

Dear Dr B, Thanks, The way you wrote out the quotes made it work perfectly, I didnt even have to change the method just the position. Thanks for that.

The only trouble is that solving that one has revealed another problem. As I am calling the script twice it resizes one image and not the other. One reduces to 1pixel in width and height. Although I look at the scource code and it writes the width correctly it does not display correctly which seems strange! I have tried repeating the image resize function with different names but to no avail. Would you have any ideas, if it can be called twice etc?
Thanks again
Richard

Dear Db, A bit of perseverance and I got there. I missed that the second instance wasnt in a javascript function so needed the "" instead of    so I just wrote the function again with a unique name as it was originally and it solved the problem.
Thanks for your help

Just some general input:

I have a function I use for this.

Function Quote( sTemp )
   Quote = Chr( 34 ) & sTemp & Chr( 34 )
End Function
'And called like so...
 
sSomeString = "<input type=" & Quote( "text" ) & ">"
 

Makes it nice and simple :)
