I get the following error when I try to use the instructions to convert a Text Area I have on a Javascript page:

Error Type:
Microsoft JScript compilation (0x800A03F7)
Unterminated string constant
/stmarks/functions/RTE_functions_common.asp, line 2, column 89
'****************************************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

Right now I am able to use the RTE box to enter posts into my ASP database, but my edit page does not work. My edit page is in Javascript, and my post page is in VBScript. So the VBScript page works fine, but the other gives this error.

<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"%> <-- That is @ the top of my edit page, and I use that language in all the code I have made to arrange for the textarea to be able to load and then replace the text in my ASP Database. I would rather not change all my language to VBScript from Javascript if at all possible.

The Browser I was using when I got this error was IE.

Thank you,
Peter

The RTE files are written in VBscript.

If you want to use JScript you will need to convert the entire page to JScript to prevent the errors you are getting.

Ya, I realize that now, but I'm working backwards and converting line by line my Javascript code to VBScript - whatever I can't put into a Javascript Script subset anyway.

Wish I'd read the fine print and realized this whole thing was VBScript before I already spent so long integrating it, my ownstupidity.

By the way, if anyone knows. I'm having some trouble translating this statement from Javascript to VBScript.

Any help would be most appreciated:

MM_editRedirectUrl += ((MM_editRedirectUrl.indexOf('?') == -1)?"?":"&") + Request.QueryString;

So far I have:

MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl +((MM_editRedirectUrl.indexOf('?') == -1)?"?":"&") + Request.QueryString

But I haven't been able to get further.

Thanks,

Peter

Edit: Nevermind, I completely recoded the page using a different method, it took about 6 hours or so of solid work but my Web Wiz system is finally up. Thanks.

I just wish the VBScript notice was a bit larger because I completely missed it.
