If anyone can help it would be great. Im new to SQL and point in the right direction would be great.
Here is my code.

<%
var to = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
to.ActiveConnection = MM_s4r_STRING;
to.Source = "SELECT newdate, news FROM dbo.news";
to.CursorType = 0;
to.CursorLocation = 2;
to.LockType = 1;
to.Open();
var to_numRows = 0;
%>
<---this is what i need help with. -->
<%= Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("news").Value)) %>
<%= Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("newdate").Value)) %>
<%
to.Close();
%>
This is the result:
A+PBX+%28
private+branch+exchange%29+is+a+telephone+system+within+an+enterprise+that+switches+calls+between+enterprise+users+on+local+lines+while+allowing+all+users+to+share+a+certain+number+of+external+phone+lines%2E+The+main+purpose+02%2E05%2E05
How do add a write function to this part of the code.
<%= Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("news").Value)) %>
<%= Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("newdate").Value)) %>
to make the result display in a format like this
&news=2E05%2E05
&newdate=telephone+system+within+an+enterprise+that+switches+calls+between+enterprise+users+on+local+lines+while+allowing+all+users+to+share+a+certain+number+of+external+phone+lines%2E+The+main+purpose+02%2E05%2E05
I have tried some doc.write functions but doesnt work... any help would be great thanks.

document.write is client side stuff.

Response.Write is server side.

<%= is short hand for Response.Write

Response.Write "&news=" + Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("news").Value))

I think it should be

Response.Write "&news=" & Server.URLEncode(to.Fields.Item("news").Value)

Hi Bert,

As everyone has pointed out, you would use server.urlencode, if you need

to pass values, which has characters that are usually part of a query string.

On the other hand, you would use server.htmlencode, if you need to display

html tags as part of your text, on the web page.

Hope this helps..

Cheers,

Sai

Thanks for the feedback. I tried this...

-------------------------------------------

<%

var to = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");

to.ActiveConnection = MM_s4r_STRING;

to.Source = "SELECT newdate, news FROM dbo.news";

to.CursorType = 0;

to.CursorLocation = 2;

to.LockType = 1;

to.Open();

var to_numRows = 0;

%>

<%= Response.Write "&news=" & Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("news").Value)) %>

<%= Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("newdate").Value)) %>

<%

to.Close();

%>

Response.Write(Response.Write "&news=" & Server.URLEncode((to.Fields.Item("news").Value)))------------------------------^

Thanks for the reply... This is still giving a 500

<%

var to = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");

to.ActiveConnection = MM_s4r_STRING;

to.Source = "SELECT newdate, news FROM dbo.news";

to.CursorType = 0;

to.CursorLocation = 2;

to.LockType = 1;

to.Open();

var to_numRows = 0;

%>

<%

Response.Write "&news=" & Server.URLEncode(to.Fields.Item("news").Value)

Response.Write "&newdate=" & Server.URLEncode(to.Fields.Item("newdate").Value)

%>

<%

to.Close();

%>

No visual error but server logs state - 800a03ec|Expected_';'

VBScript

Response.Write "&news=" & Server...

JavaScript

Response.Write "&news=" + Server...

If you are using Visual Studio to write your code there is a way of setting up line by line debugging however I have come closer to solving Fermat's last theorem than getting it to work.

My mistake ... I did not see it was javascript ... Try this :

<%

var to = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");

to.ActiveConnection = MM_s4r_STRING;

to.Source = "SELECT newdate, news FROM dbo.news";

to.CursorType = 0;

to.CursorLocation = 2;

to.LockType = 1;

to.Open();

var to_numRows = 0;

%>

<%

Response.Write("&news=" + Server.URLEncode(to.Fields.Item("news").Value));

Response.Write("&newdate=" + Server.URLEncode(to.Fields.Item("newdate").Value));

%>

<%

to.Close();

%>

-------------------------------------

<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"%>

<%

var go = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");

go.ActiveConnection = MM_s4r_STRING;

go.Source = "SELECT newdate, news FROM dbo.news";

go.CursorType = 0;

go.CursorLocation = 2;

go.LockType = 1;

go.Open();

var go_numRows = 0;

%>

<% Response.Write "&news=" + (go.Fields.Item("news").Value)%>

<% Response.Write "&newdate=" + (go.Fields.Item("newdate").Value)%>

<%

go.Close();

%>

----------------------------

500 error -

Microsoft JScript compilation error '800a03ec'

Expected ';'

/stage1/_inc/news2.asp, line 14

Response.Write "&news=" + (go.Fields.Item("news").Value)
