I'm a PHP developer so having to do ASP is not something I'm required to do often but in this instance we are bodging something...

I have a header file and in it is the nav, if the current page is aaa then aaa is highlighted in the nav so I do something if (thispage=="aaa") write class="this" on the href for example.

This all works fine but what I want to do is not have to edit all the other files to declare thispage. On the pages that I am changing, I am setting thispage="ho" for home or thispage="ab" for about etc.

Problem is that when I go to a page that I dont want a nav item highlighting, I get an error because I have not declared thispage. So how do I do this? I tried this in the header:

If not isdeclared("thispage") then
Dim thispage=""
End If

but that doesn't work... I get compilation errors.

Any help gratefully received!

Looks okay to me (apart from the case).

What error do you get?

surely this would be better

if isdeclared("thispage")<>"" then
Dim thispage=""
End If

what error are you getting?

It'll be helpful to know what error you are getting, but you want to declare your variable out of the 'if' statement.

Is thisPage a variable ? If so, you don't need to have the double quotes, also where is the variable thisPage being set ?

Dim thisPage

If isDeclared("thisPage") <> "" then thisPage = ""

Has your 'isDeclared' function got an error catcher ?

NB: VBscript is not case sensitive but javascript is.
