Need Help with ASP Respose.Write

[GenevaDude]

I'm having problems trying to put a variable into a table row.
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
&lt;%
tempStr = hs.DeviceStringByName("Computer room CNN Headlines")
Response.Write "&lt;h4&gt;These are the latest headlines from CNN. You may click on the headlines to view the story&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br&gt;"

%&gt;
&lt;%=tempStr%&gt; 'this is before the table and demonstrates the variable works
&lt;%
Response.Write "&lt;table class=tableheader border="2" width="90%" allign="center" cellspacing="4px"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;CNN Headlines&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Select&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Instructions&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Response.Write "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;class=tablecolumn&gt;"
Response.Write ("&lt;td&gt;Column 1&lt;/Td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br")

Response.BinaryWrite(tempStr) 'No matter what I use here I cannot get it to work I have tried using &lt;%=tempStr%&gt;, Response.Write but all I get is the statement itself in the cell.
Response.Write ("&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Column 3&lt;/Td&gt;")
Response.Write "&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;"

%&gt;
&lt;%=CustomFooter%&gt;

</pre> <span class="ev_code_PURPLE">
I think there must be something special when writing into a cell. But also I'm getting some Response.Write errors on the page as well. So it may be from something else. If you can review the code above and help, I would very greatful.
</span>

From first glance at it, you are using double quotes in the string for example border="2" if you want to include it in the string itself you need border=""2"" or border ='2' use 2 quotes in a row to include it in the string, or just switch to 1 single quote since HTML understands that also.

Dave,

Thanks for the quick reply. I used apostrophys and discovered I had an unterminated line (no " at end of the line). Now it works quite nicely. I spent most of the day trying to debug this but with your reply I had it working in about four minutes.

So many thanks for your help! This one of those forrest and trees.

A couple of things I see.

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
Response.Write "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;class=tablecolumn&gt;"
Response.Write ("&lt;td&gt;Column 1&lt;/Td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br")
</pre>
There's a missing &gt; on the br from the above statement.
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
Response.BinaryWrite(tempStr)
</pre>
This needs to be Response.Write (tempStr)

Rupp,

I probably deleted it in my post because it's in my code &lt;br&gt;. But it's great having other eyes looking at it. Ther's lots of things I can do now that I've got it working. I can now tune it up to look better and improve performance. I added lots of code to try and debug the problem.
