Using ASP variables with HTML

[Leeper]

Here is the line that I am using.
response.write("<p style='color:" & Item"'></p>")
the word Item is a variable with hex code in it for color. This is
pretty simple I think, but how can I get this variable to work with
this HTML. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What isn't working about it? Are you getting an error of some sort? It
seems fine to me, although I'd change the variable name to something along
the lines of sColor.

You're missing an & after Item:

Response.Write "<p style='color:" & Item & "'></p>")

PS- My general philosophy is that inline styles are bad things. You would
be better off defining a class or ID. Just my 2 cents.

I take back my "It seems fine to me" statement after reading Peter's post.

You're missing an & after Item:

Response.Write "<p style='color:" & Item & "'></p>")

And I'm missing an opening ( after Write. :) Ooops.

Should be:

Response.Write( "<p style='color:" & Item & "'></p>" )
or
Response.Write "<p style='color:" & Item & "'></p>"
