Unterminated String Constant

Hi All,

I am hoping some of you good people can help me with this problem.

The code below is part of a refer a friend page I want to put on my site. I
get and "Unterminated String Constant" for "<%= varREFERINGPAGE %>"
when I post the page. varREFERINGPAGE is the name of the refering paging
and works fine if I just display it on the page but as part of a mail the
lets the friend click back to the refered page it dosn't work. The page
won't even load.

sEmailText = sEmailText & "<a href='" & "<%= varREFERINGPAGE %>" & "'
target='_blank'>" & ">> Click here to view Job Details" & "</a>"

If I change "<%= varREFERINGPAGE %>" to say "http://www.cnn.com " the
link works fine. The email reciptiant can click and get to cnn

I really can't figure this one out. Unterminated String Constant seemd to me
a lack of closing "'s etc. but I can't find the problem.

Your help would really be appreciated.

Joe

Where are you placing this code - server-side or client-side.

Server-side:
sEmailText = sEmailText & "<a href='" & varREFERINGPAGE & "'
target='_blank'>" & ">> Click here to view Job Details" & "</a>"

Client-Side:
sEmailText = sEmailText & "<a href='" & <%= varREFERINGPAGE %> & "'
target='_blank'>" & ">> Click here to view Job Details" & "</a>"

Jeff,

Thanks a lot. Problem solved thanks to you.

Joe
