calling asp variables inside js

[Mhtml]

How can I use an asp variable in js?

the variable is ConMessage
and the js is just


if(this.value==' THE ASP VARIABLE ';) {this.value=''}

I need to get the value of the asp variable where it is stated in red...

[boywonder]

if(this.value=='<%=ConMessage%>') {this.value=''}

[Mhtml]

doesn't work, keep getting expected ')'

make sure the value of the asp variable has no quotes inside.
if you expect ConMessage to have both single and double quotes in its value, you have to replace them with:

<%
'replace single quote with \'
ConMessage = replace(ConMessage,"'","\'")

'replace single quote with \"
ConMessage = replace(ConMessage,"""","\"")
%>


then in your javascript, you can use either single or double quotes in your string delimeter:

if(this.value=='<%=ConMessage%>') {this.value=''}
