I'm getting this error on a .asp page with absolutely no server side code on
it yet:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0138'
Nested Script Block
/cart/10browse.asp, line 78
A script block cannot be placed inside another script block.
Here is the part generating the error:

Line 78 is the document.write line. I don't know why it's trying to parse
the script tags on the server. Any ideas?

Try breaking up the string:

document.write("<SCR" + "IPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='hierArrays.js'
TYPE='text/javascript'><\/SCR" + "IPT>");

That's my next try... just seems like an unnecessary kludge... thanks.

You do actually have nested script blocks there - you just don't know it :)

Change this line...

document.write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='hierArrays.js'
TYPE='text/javascript'><\/SCRIPT>");

...to this...

document.write("<" + "SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='hierArrays.js'
TYPE='text/javascript'><\" + "/SCRIPT>");

What I'm trying to do here is fool the parser into thinking that this isn't
an embedded <script> tag (which it is, by the way :)

Hopefully, the suggested concatenation should do it.
I noticed it was declaring javascript as the serverside language so I used +
as the concatenator - you know what to do if that is not the case :)

Thanks Rob, that did the trick. I just always think of <script> tags as
client side, because I do most everything in VBScript.
