Problem validating HTML because of ASP code

Torbjørn Pettersen

I'm having problems validating my HTML code because of some
ASP code I'm using:

---Start Code---

<%
If rs("Average") = 0 Then
VotingImage = "<img src="/images/0.gif" alt='No votes yet'>"
ElseIf rs("Average") >= 1 And rs("Average") < 2 Then
VotingImage = "<img src=/images/1.gif alt='1 out of 6 stars'>"
End If
%>


<%=VotingImage% >

---End Code---

The problem is of course that the code inserted, and used in the
HTML code in the end result is : <img src=/images/1.gif alt='1 out of 6 stars'>
The attribute value /images/1.gif for the scr attribute isn't enclosed in single or
double quotation marks as it should be, and this results in the code not being
validated as proper HTML. :-/

I have tried enclosing it in quotation marks both this and that way, but it doesn't
work..... and it's driving me nuts. :-(

I think you want
VotingImage = "<img src=""/images/1.gif"" alt=""1 out of 6 starts"">"
at least that is the way to insert a double quote into a string literal
with VBScript.

ASP/VBScript

intAverage = rs.Fields.Item( "Average").Valu e
if (intAverage = 0) then
VotingImage = '<img src="/images/0.gif" alt="No votes yet">'
elseif (intAverage >= 1 and intAverage < 2) then
VotingImage = '<img src="/images/1.gif" alt="1 out of 6 stars">'
end if

Yes, that's what I wanted. :-) Thanks! My page is getting closer and closer
to being validated, just another couple of hours with blood, sweat and foul
language, and it should be done. :-D

I more or less expected it to be Hell. A combination of FrontPage and different
hand coders.... And I don't really know anything about CSS, started using it
this week. And I'm new to DreamWeaver too. ;-)

Well, learning as I go has proven to work before, and this group seems to be a
real treasure. :-) Friendly people who don't yell at newbies like me asking stupid
questions.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
