Hi Guys,

I have encountered this probleme when I am having a Classic ASP code that was put inside a string variable including the directives (<% %>)

Page Error:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0409'

Unterminated string constant

/signup/checkbox4.asp, line 6

&"<%= varTemp
-------------^

Below is the my Test Classic ASP, before moving to my actual ASP Coding. I hope this can be solved. Thanks in advance

<%
Dim sCheckBox
sCheckBox = sCheckBox + "<tr>" _
&"<td valign='middle'><input id='Checkbox' type='checkbox' name='Checkbox' " _
&"<%= varTemp %>/></td>" _
&"<td class='smallText'>Test Checkbox</td>" _
&"</tr>"
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name="frmMain" action="checkbox1.asp" method=post>
<tr><%= sCheckBox %></tr>
</form>
<P> </P>
</BODY>
</HTML

Check the syntax of your script, particularly for closing statements, speech marks or brackets. Look for clues, count all the lines including blank lines

Also why is there extra backslash in the below line.
<%=varTemp %>/>

Normally this error is due to some small syntax error.

Hi Ash, thanks for the reply :)

Honestly, I already tried another way by removing the "/" back slash, but the problem is still the same. The tag <input></input> is the same with <input... />

Actually, this is only my test program before transferring the concept to my real classic asp program with tables thru mssql2005 database.

There's a CustomerCategory Table that has a CustomerID and CategoryID. And the value of CategoryID will be used for the dynamic creation of checkboxes.

Let's say for example, for all 10 categories, only 3 of these are being stored in CustomerCategory Table. The question is how can I be able to populate the 3 categories by displaying thru 3 checked checkboxes?

Do you have any idea on doing this, dynamically?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying you will list a table with a dozen options each of which records can be selected via checkbox. Then when you submit the form some action is taken on those records selected? It sppears that you have found an answer to this question in one of your later posts. Are you still looking for a solution?

Hi Jhard

Honestly, I haven't found a solution yet regarding the "<%= ..%>. I just made a another way, a longer way just for me to continue the program. In my recent question is that, how can I check it out if the checkboxes are being checked or not. What I did was when I tried this code "If Request(CStr(Categorytbl("CategoryID")) <> "" then ... process.... it won't get into this condition. I just wanted to get the value of the checked checkboxes, that's all.

Anyway, I will try it again the one you've suggested about code block <%..%> .

Thank you Jhard

Hi Clint,

Yes, finally it works. But I don't know yet if this will work as what's in my mind now. :)

Actually, what I am trying to do is to populate a checkboxes based from the data of my Category table.

For example, if I have 10 Categories, then 10 checkboxes must be displayed for the customer to check. And from my CustomerCategory table the fields there are only CustomerID and CategoryID. I will goin to use the value of CategoryID that will serve as the name of the checkboxes, for me to easily locate the checkbox. And the content of the variable varTemp is either "Checked" or ""(Unchecked).

But I already changed the concept yesterday on how to populate the checkboxes, and on how to detect if it is being checked or not.

Anyway, the solution you gave me is really a big help, and it can be used someday with my other upcoming program.

Thank you for parting your knowledge with me Clint.

Since it was solved already my problem in Classis ASP, by next week I will be moving to ASP.Net 2.0 and AJAX. And I am pretty sure, I have plenty of questions here in www.thescripts.com. I am hoping that you'll continue answering concerns from us.

Thank you Client :)
