Can't Seem to Get the Format Correct

Author	Message
D Lon #1 / 5	Can't Seem to Get the Format Correct My brain seems to have given up. I can't seem to figure out how to format the following code so that I can insert the variable. What I'm trying to do is to insert the variable sSectionName where I've indicated. I've tried various combinations of single quote, double quote and <%= %> until I'm blue in the face. I've indicated where in the code I'd like to insert the variable on the line I've labeled 4. Would someone please help? <!--#include file="../db.conn.open.asp"--> <!--#include file="../adovbs.inc"--> <!--#include file="../incCategories.asp"--> <% DIM sType, sSectionName sSectionName = Request.QueryString("section") %> <html> (I've shortened the intermediate code) 1. <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> 2. <div align="left"> 3. <img src="../Images/Menu%20Graphics/spacer.gif" width="185" height="45"> 4. <a href="../Printer%20Friendly%20Version/NHG_PFSectionWriter.asp?sType=FAQ&Cate gory= (I want to put the variable sSectionName here) "> <img src="../Images/Printer%20Friendly/printer_friendly.gif" width="87" height="45" border="0"></a> <img src="../Images/Menu%20Graphics/spacer.gif" width="100" height="45"><a href="javascript:emailArticle('Health_Concerns/allergies.asp')"> <img border="0" src="../Images/Printer%20Friendly/email_to_friend.gif" width="75" height="44" alt="Email this Article"> </div> </td> Thanks, in advance.

Tango Hote #3 / 5	Can't Seem to Get the Format Correct have you tried <a href="../Printer%20Friendly% 20Version/NHG_PFSectionWriter.asp?sType=FAQ&Category= <% =cstr(somevar)%> "> works for me.

D Lon #4 / 5	Can't Seem to Get the Format Correct I hadn't tried the cstr function. The plain old <%=sSectionName%> and that didn't seem to work.

Gar #5 / 5	Can't Seem to Get the Format Correct Hi D Long, I have tested the solution of <%=sSectionName%> and it worked fine. <HTML> <HEAD> <META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"> </HEAD> <BODY> <P> </P> <% DIM sType, sSectionName sSectionName = "test" %> <a href="../Printer%20Friendly%20Version/NHG_PFSectionWriter.asp?sType=FAQ&Cate gory= <%=sSectionName%>">test</a> </BODY> </HTML> Please copy the code above to a new ASP page and check whether it works or not.
