Just looking at it again, I don't think it's just the quotes but also the missing semicolon that might've caused the syntax error.

Assuming clzip is equal to the string "hello" then this
<script language="Javascript">
myvar =

<?php
=Session("clzip")
?>

;
</script>

would return

However you need to assign the string to a string in javascript so you need to put quotes around it like so:

<?php
=Session("clzip")
?>

";
</script>

and it should give back:

if your session var is a number or is boleen then you might need to use it without the quotes. if you are already doing that then you should get it to work. hope this helps!

But response.write is vbscript. I'm trying to pass the session variable to a new variable inside a javascript function.

I actually spent pretty much a whole day trying to do something similar once!

There aren't escape characters for quotes in ASP so try this:

Response.Write("var zip = " & chr(34) & Session("clzip") & chr(34) & ";" & vbCrLf)

Which will output:

var zip = "YourVariableValue";
