unterminated string constant

[NadaAngel]

i am developing a milt-language dynamic website in Classic ASP.

the site is in English, arabic and French and the data is all stored in an Access database.

my problem is specifically with grabbing the "FRENCH" submenus in a dynamic heir menu:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="includes/stmenu.js"></script>
<%  
cl="Arabic"
clF="French"
if session("CurrentLanguage")=cl then
	alignment=2
else
	alignment=0
end if
if session("CurrentLanguage")=cl then
	imgext="A"
elseif session("CurrentLanguage")= clF then
	imgext="F"
else
	imgext=""
end if
	Dim rs, rs1, checkusedarr(100)
	Dim Caption,PageId1, PageId2,PageId3, sSub,nSub,bool1,bool2, bool3,check,item,linkishere,linkishere2
	Dim SQLStr
	Dim vitem
	bool1=false
	bool2=false
	bool3=false
	check=0
   set rs=Server.CreateObject("adodb.Recordset")
   set rs1=Server.CreateObject("adodb.Recordset")
  %>
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" background="images/piece_14.gif">

the problem lies in the area in red.

the menu works PERFECTLY with english and arabic...but not french.
if i change "caption_F" to "caption_A" or "caption_E" the menu works perfectly and i don't get the "unterminated string constant" error in the task bar below, except of course it grabs the english or arabic submenus !!

BTW the same red script above..works great within the rest of the site !!

I think it might have something to do with what it is pulling from the database, write out the sql, maybe there is some double quotes or reserved words in the sql.

[NadaAngel]

but why in THIS specific place only ?
i've used this script all over the site includes-and i call the captions all over the place...why here ???????????????
i'm going crazyy

[Thirusha]

dont go crazy, these things happen, and sometimes it will be a stupid thing that causes everything to break. But thats the fun of programming. :)

i think it must be the data, try changing the data that is used in the french recordset to the english or arabic one, without changin the code. if that works then it is definitely something in the data.

could also be double quotes somewhere in the string.

Just picked up something else:
shouldnt your hilighted portion look something like:

if session("CurrentLanguage")=cl then 
	sSub = Rs1(GetFieldName("Caption_A")) & ""
end if

if session("CurrentLanguage")=clF  then 
	sSub = Rs1(GetFieldName("Caption_F")) & ""
end if

Hiiiii Thirusha,

i finally got it to work but never had a chance to tell you since.... it was in fact the data :icon_redface: :icon_rolleyes:

the french data had an extra space or quote...something like that....

just imagine... i had to retrieve data from every single cell and retry the page till i found the cell with faulty data....

ppphheewwwwww thank god that's over :)

thank you soooooo much

[Thirusha]

Glad to help :)
