[Javascript] apostropes... '

[Andrew Gibson]

Thanks Bekim, my problem was that I was having
to mix ASP code with Javascript
response.write "clientname["& x &"]='O'Reilly'" &vbcrlf

I solved it by using a couple of prewritten strings and parsed it that way.

Thanks again Jeff and Bekim.

Andrew

  That was a correct answer, but it doesn't work with strigs,
  because strings are interpreted literaly, there are other ways to work
that out.
  Why don't you try another aproach?
  Make you're VAR global by declaring it as
  var myname=""
  outside of any function,

  Write a function that change's the value of  variable - mymame,
  and read you're value, for instance some input and say:
  {myname=the_ID_of_the_input.value}
  and refer to it, with:
  eval(myname)
  this way the myname variable will allways have an updated name, the most
recently entered in the field.
  Regards!
