Question

I’m a bit simple when it comes to mixing languages and hoped somebody could advise me.

I have a page-turning magazine viewer, which is embedded on my webpage using Javascript like so:

<script type="textjavascript">

var attributes = { id: 'issuuViewer1' };

var params = {

allowfullscreen: 'true',

allowScriptAccess: 'always',

menu: 'false'

};

var flashvars = {

jsAPIClientDomain: 'issuu.com',

mode: 'embed',

layout: 'http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml',

showFlipBtn: 'true',

documentId: '080311154822-183d3d8334a544518a0d5e324f2543d4',

docName: 'gan_issuu',

username: 'Jesper',

loadingInfoText: 'Greek%20Architecture',

et: '1251988902514',

er: '29'

};

swfobject.embedSWF("http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf", "myContent1", "420", "264", "9.0.0", "swfobject/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

</script>

What I would like to know, is can I populate some of these settings with ASP. So instead of line:

documentId: '080311154822-183d3d8334a544518a0d5e324f2543d4',

Can I have something like this incorporating ASP?

documentId: '<%=rs.Fields("documentID")%>',

Yes, it would be valid to populate a JavaScript object using ASP like this. See the recent question that was about doing this with PHP:

Is it considered bad practice to have PHP in your JavaScript
