wierd error message in asp page

Hi all,
I have a page when run in browser(firefox), it has some error message from
from javascript console. It says
Error: Expected ':' but found ';'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: https://www.xxx.com/select2007_step1.asp
Line: 0

Bu the first 10 line of code are:

<%
pStr = "private, no-cache, must-revalidate"
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #2000-01-01#
Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control", pStr
%>





It seems to me that it has nothing to do Javascript, it is asp.
Can you shed a light on me?
After I remove this part:<%
pStr = "private, no-cache, must-revalidate"
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #2000-01-01#
Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control", pStr
%>
It still give me the error message.

Why? What is making you say that? Why would an ASP vbscript error be
raised in a Javascript console?

And if you remove every other bit of ASP code, I bet you will still get
the error ... unless removing the ASP code causes you to inadvertantly
fix or delete the javascript code that is causing the error.

Your problem is in a line of code containing a colon, probably a var
statement. The error it is causing is preventing the rest of the code in
the page from executing leading to the confusion.

Re: wierd error message in asp page

HI Bob,
i always use firefox javaconsole to debug my javascript and it seems it
always give the right line number all the time. That's why I am so confused
when I look at the so-called line 0.
I will look at if there is : in the javascript.
Thanks you

Re: wierd error message in asp page

Hi Betty,

If the error is raised from client-side javascript console, I think you
should check the rendered out HTML source through webbrowser's "View
Source" rather than server-side asp content. The line number should be
matching the content of the client-side rendered page source.

Sincerely,

Hi Steven,
You are absolutely right. I got it. Most of the time it seems it doesn't
give me any trouble.
Thank you.

It's pointing to something in the HTML that it received, not the
original ASP file, which it knows nothing about. Use the "View Source"
option, and see what you can find in there.

Directing you to line 0 is no good, it kind of implies that it's very
confused.
