[thelist] Global.asa, strings and script blocks

It's a parser problem. Do this:

Application("DEFAULT_HEAD") = "<script" & ">"

Cheers

: Dear all
:
: Within my ASP application, I set the default values for a number of
: application variables. One of these is a string to be included within
: the <head> tags of every page. However, the following line:
:
: Application("DEFAULT_HEAD") = "<script>"
:
: Generates the error: A script block cannot be placed inside another
: script block.
:
: I am aware that script blocks cannot indeed be nested, but as this is a
: string I cannot understand why it is disallowed. Has anyone else come
: across this, or am I missing something fairly obvious?
