Here is a tutorial example showing you how string concatenation operation works:

<html>
<body>
<!-- string_concatenation.html

-->
<pre>
<script language="vbscript">
   document.writeln("Hello " & "world!")
   document.writeln("649 = " & 649)
   document.writeln("True = " & True)
   document.writeln("#31-Dec-1999# = " & #31-Dec-1999#)
   document.writeln("Empty = " & Empty)
   document.writeln("Null = " & Null)
   document.writeln("Hello " + "world!")
   document.writeln("649 " + 649)
'   document.writeln("Game " + 649)
</script>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

Hello world!
649 = 649
True = True
#31-Dec-1999# = 12/31/1999
Empty = 
Null =
