[Javascript] HELP!

[Matt Barton]

Hi Dave.  Try this:

<!-- *************************** -->
<script language="javascript">
var sBadge = "<%=(rs.Fields.Item("emp_badge").Value)%>";
var sName = "<%=(rs.Fields.Item("emp_fullname").Value)%>";
</script>

<a
onClick="sBadge=passiton(sBadge,sName)"><%=(rs.Fields.Item("emp_badge").Valu
e)%></a>

<!-- *************************** -->

I've no idea what language your <% foo %> tags are in , or what technology
is parsing them out and swaping in data, but you could try something like
that.

Matt
