In my quest to try and learn ASP, I have been trying out some of the
examples on WWF for the connecting to an access database
part1(Guestbook) tutorial ":- I have been playing with one of the scripts, trying to display the data in a table, with Headings and then the data in the releavant column underneath it, this is how I want it to be displayed, but when I try to do ir I get an error, see below :
Error Type: Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A03EE) Expected ')' /gb/guestbook1.asp, line 37, column 41 Response.Write ("<TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=\"75%\" CELLSPACING=2 CELLPADDING=2 ALIGN=CENTER>") -------------------------------------- This is a snippet of the code as to how I am doing it :
Any help would be much appreciated.!!! ------------- If you dont want my peaches, dont shake my tree |

Try this:
the reason why you got that error is that u were using " then the script expects a ) and it fails.. u have to use """ |

I have tried this again by removing the """" and changing it to
WIDTH=75% and it has now stopped complaining about that line but is
having an error on the line that calls the user info
The error coming up now is :- Error Type: Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A03EE) Expected ')' /gb/guestbook1.asp, line 46, column 55 Response.Write("<TD ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>rsGuestbook("Name")</TD>") Any ideas ? ------------- If you dont want my peaches, dont shake my tree |

Anthrax its ok it is all working now. I just used width=75
without the "" and it seems to work ok. So I am happy. Thanks to all
for your help anyway.. ------------- If you dont want my peaches, dont shake my tree |
