javascript question

Hi everyone; First of all I'm sorry maybe I musn't send this mail to this list but I think that someone can help me. Here is my problem: I use pear templates. In my html template file there is an javascript like this: function validateAll (objForm){ if (objForm.comp_prg.selectedIndex == 0) { alert ("You must choose something"); return false; } Return true; } This code is true. But I want to use php variable in this code. Alert sentence must be a php_variable. I try Alert(<php $message?>); or Alert(<php echo"$message";*>); But I it isn't work. Can anybody help me??
