Response.Write

The Write method writes a specified string to the current HTTP output.

Syntax

Response.Write variant

Parameters

variant

The data to write. This parameter can be any data type supported by the VBScript VARIANT data type, including characters, strings, and integers. This value cannot contain the character combination %>; instead you should use the escape sequence %\>. The Web server translates the escape sequence when it processes the script.

Remarks

If you do not want to use the default language codepage, output from Response.Write can be encoded using different codepages by setting @CodePage, Response.CodePage, Session.CodePage, or the AspCodePage metabase property. For more information, see the Response.CodePage and Response.Charset reference pages.

Example

The following example use the Response.Write method and HTML to send output to the client:

<H3 align=center>I just want to say <% Response.Write "Hello World.</H3><BR>" %> 

Your name is: <% Response.Write Request.QueryString("name") %> <BR>

The following example uses <%=index.html instead of Response.Write.

The date is: <%=index.html Date %> <BR>

The following example adds an HTML tag to the Web page output. Because the string returned by the Write method cannot contain the character combination %>, the escape %\> is used instead.

<% Response.Write "<TABLE WIDTH =index.html 100%\>" %> 

The previous example produces the following output:

<TABLE WIDTH =index.html 100%>
