Context please...

Cannot parse the javascript statement below

var strRepoDate = <%= "\""strRepoDate"\""%>;

Context please...

Context is Javascript of course, but what the expected behaviour should be is an open question, i.e. does this stmt should be red?
What about

var strRepoDate = ; or ]]>

I guess we are at the point were some things are beter left unspoken (unchecked) ...

More context would be to say "javascript within a JSP file".

In a straight HTML file that would be invalid javascript.

I see the same problem with all constructs inside javascript

It seems that same problem appears when mixing CSS Styles and JSP insertions
