Response.Write vs <%= %>

Question

Bearing in mind this is for classic asp

Which is better, all HTML contained within Response.Write Statements or inserting variables into HTML via &l

Answer 1

I prefer the <%= %> method in most situations for several reasons.

1. The HTML is exposed to the IDE so that it can be processed giving you tooltips, tag closing, etc.
2. Maintaining indentation in the output HTML is easier which can be very helpful with reworking layout.
3. New lines without appending vbCrLf on everything and again for reviewing output source.
