ASP Error only in Internet Explorer

Hi,

I have a form on my Intranet webpage for my company to submit trouble
tickets. Part of it fills in the current date and time to a text box.
THis works great in Firefox but not in IE. Nothing shows up at all in
the text box.

<tr>
<td>Date Requested: </td><td align = right><input type = "text"
name = "date" value = '
<%
postDate = FormatDateTime(Now,0)
Response.Write(postDate)
%>
' readonly=yes></td>
</tr>

This is the chunk of code that it is in.

Thanks for any guidance.

try a simple test?
<input type="text" value="<%= testing... %>">

that really has no choice but to work

Wrong NG, the error is not in tha ASP-Vbscript.

[As expected, because serverside code does not run on a browser,
and so must be browser independent.]

The debugging is in the viewsourcing of the html stream,
however it is clear that:

value = '
<%
postDate = FormatDateTime(Now,0)
Response.Write(postDate)
%>
'

leads to an HTML with nort allowed new lines
inside the single quotes of the value = '...'

Try:

<input type = "text" name = "date"
value = '<% Response.Write FormatDateTime(Now,0) %>'
readonly=yes>

or:

<input type = "text" name = "date"
value = '<% = FormatDateTime(Now,0) %>'
readonly=yes>

Well, making that change definitely did the trick. Thanks! I wonder
why it worked in Firefox and not in IE though...

Thanks.

Because the browsers have different error tolerance handling.

However it is an HTML error either way.
