I am trying to use vb.Net vaiables in Javascript but I am having problems with it.

Here is my Code:

PHP Code:




<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<script runat="server">



    Dim strDescript as String 

    

    

    

      Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)

    

         strDescript = "This is a test to see if the actually works!"

    

           lbltest.text = strDescript

    

    

    

    end Sub



</script>

<html>

    <head>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="gallerypics.js"></script>

    </head>





    <body>

        <form runat="server"><asp:HyperLink runat="server" href="javascript:showPic('photos/image003.jpg','photography',480,360,'#000000','#cccccc','<%# strDescript %>','Chucks Spiecal','10/23/89');">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

           



<a href="javascript:showPic('photos/image003.jpg','photography',480,360,'#000000','#cccccc',' <%# strDescript %> ','Chucks Spiecal','10/23/89');"><img class="whiteborder" 

           src="thumb/image003.jpg" width="120" height="89" alt="Click Me"  /></a>

           

           <asp:Label id="lbltest" runat="server">Label</asp:Label>

           

           

        </form>

    </body>

</html>

When I put the variable in the HTML Anchor tag, it just flat doesn't work.

When I put the variable in a webcontrol it parses it out, but doesn't put the content of the variable in it's place. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks

Chuck

Use <%= strDescript %>

<%# ... %> is only used for databinding. Otherwise, if you need to, use <%= ... %> to get the value of a simple variable.
