Var Assignment.

So leave out the quotes,

timeIncrement = <% = session("incTime") %>

or do an explicit type conversion.

You cannot mix serverside and clientside code that way.

timeIncrement = '<% = session("incTime") %>'

mind the [single] quotes

Actually it is true, I've added watches and it is assigned theString value.
And yes, in an ASP page on an ASP server. Not trying to be difficult, simply
laying out what results I am getting.

Not true, if used in an .asp file on an asp server.

If you don't use ASP, why post here?

Perhaps if I include the entire code snippet, it may help.

<script language="javascript">

function startclock() {
stopclock();
timeValue = '<%=session("timerInc")%>';
timerID = setInterval("increment()", timeValue);
timerRunning = true;
document.images.bar.src=image00.src;
}
</script>

SNIPPET END

I have a var in a javascript like so:
<script language="javascript">

var timerID = null;
var timerRunning = false;
var timeIncrement = 0;
LATER in the code I need to assign a session var to the local var like
so....

timeIncrement = session("incTime")

How do I do this?

I keep getting errors like "an exception of type MS jscript runtime...
Object expected was not handled"

Not for me either in a script block (assuming you are using Interdev). The
yellow-highlight is only applied in the html area. Ignore the lack of
highlighting. It works even though Interdev does not recognize it.

As I said before, if you want timeValue to be a number, either get rid of
the quotes

timeValue = <%=session("timerInc")%>;

Or use a conversion function on the variable to convert it to a number. The
unary + operator can be used for this: timeValue = '<%=session("timerInc")%>';
timerID = setInterval("increment()", +timeValue);
timerRunning = true;
document.images.bar.src=image00.src;
}
</script>

Look at the page's source after running it (comment out the setInterval
statement) to see what is happening

assignment expression peeve

I don't rememeber the mentioning of an error... oh! the "object expected"
error? Can you post the page's source?

Are you sure the problem isn't the increment() function? Does it work if you
hard-code a numeric value into timeValue rather than using the
response.write?

Let me try to duplicate this ... nope - it works fine for me. I think the
issue is elsewhere.
