javascript escape sequence problem

I have a javascript that I'm trying to embed some CF into its an if-else if a   {   cellStart + ahrefStart + 'summary' + getYear + '_' + getMonth + '_' + ...   } I want to add a piece of code [see below] var encodeStart = 'aaa/bbb.cfm?PDFPath=#URLEncodedFormat("ccc/ddd")#&PDFName=#URLEncodedFormat ("eee.pdf") '; and make the new statement: if a   {   cellstart + ahrefStart + encodeStart + 'summary' + getYear + '_' + getMonth + '_' + ...   } however it's not reading correctly. If I remove the " it reads the ccc/ddd. If I leave it, it doesn't. ????  But it works elsewhere var cellStart = '<a href="'; I've tried every combination I can think of. Has anybody come across a problem like this?

Your double quotes inside of your pound signs should not make a difference if they're part of a function.  Is the JavaScript nested inside of a CFOUTPUT? --- Billy Cravens ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- 'aaa/bbb.cfm?PDFPath=#URLEncodedFormat("ccc/ddd")#&PDFName=#URLEncodedFormat ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- ccc/ddd. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- -- > ---------------------------------------------------- > This message is for the named person's use only.

yes, the js is inside of a <cfoutput> -- and no, the double quotes should not make a difference.

If I read it correctly the only thing you are asking cf to do is urlencode a string. Why not just use the javascript function "escape" which is equivalent? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server   PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER   Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup   http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona

I'm going to try that now. thx Just looked it up in the rhino book -- looks like it might do the trick. -- glm If I read it correctly the only thing you are asking cf to do is urlencode a string.
