calling recordset values inside html link

[crispy]

Hello group,

I'm again having trouble putting ASP records INSIDE html link.

Here's the string I put inside Access field:

No room number specified (<a
href='contact.asp?subject=corrections/addition for AASG.info group ID
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item('group_id').Value)%>'>u pdate</a>)

but it is not working. The link created in my html output puts out asp
part LITERALLY and does not put the VALUE of the recordset.

This didn't work either:

No room number specified (<a
href="contact.asp?subject=corrections/addition for AASG.info group ID
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item('group_id').Value)%>">u pdate</a>)

Could someone please tell me how to do this?

thanks in advance,

crispy

So, you're saying that when you load the page and do a view-source, you see:

No room number specified (<a href='contact.asp?subject=corrections/addition
for AASG.info group ID
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item('group_id').Value)%>'>u pdate</a>

Is this in a .ASP page as opposed to a .HTM page, and are you loading it via
http:// as opposed to file://?

Are you certain you are using Jscript serverside ?

Why the () ?

If Jscript then casesensitive fields, item, value

If VBscript then single quotes not allowed

Try:

<% = Recordset1.fields.item("group_id").value %>

I figured out that I need to dim the recordset value before I call on
it. I think that is the problem. Somehow I kept thinking that asp
would fill in the value (Recordset1.Fields.Item('group_id').Value) as
it is creating the page, but apparently that is not the case. crispy
