Nudrat,

There is no difference, <%=%> is just a shortened syntax for response.write. I find whether I use one or the other is more a question of the circumstance. If I am in the middle of a block of code and want to write something I use response.write. If I am in the middle of HTML code and want to insert data from the script I use <%=%>
