Question

Triple Quotes? How do I delimit a databound Javascript string parameter in ASP.NET?

Answer 1

A:

Without the extra quotes around the input string parameter, the Javascript function thinks I'm passing in an integer.

Can you do some rudimentary string function to force JavaScript into changing it into a string? Like

value = value + ""

Answer 2

A:

Try putting the extra text inside the server-side script block and concatenating.

onclick='<%# "ToggleDisplay(""" &  DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "JobCode") & """);" %>'

Edit: I'm pretty sure you could just use double quotes outside the script block as well.

Answer 3

+4 A:

I had recently similar problem and the only way to solve it was to use plain old HTML codes for single (") and double quotes (').

Source code was total mess of course but it worked.

Try

<a id="aShowHide" onclick='ToggleDisplay(&#34;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "JobCode") %>&#34;);'>Show/Hide</a>

or

<a id="aShowHide" onclick='ToggleDisplay(&#39;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "JobCode") %>&#39;);'>Show/Hide</a>

Winna!!! Thanks Lubos. HTML codes sorted it (and yep, it was messy, but it works).Solution:onclick='ToggleDisplay("<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "JOB_Code") %>");'

Answer 4

A:

I just tried using the 'Format String' parameter for the DataBinder.Eval but that didn't work either.

onclick='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "JOB_Code", "ToggleDisplay('{0}');" %>'

Answer 5

A:

Passing variable to function without single quote or double quote

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
function hello(id, bu)
{
    alert(id+ bu);
}
</script>
<a href ="javascript:
var x = &#34;12&#34;;
var y = &#34;fmo&#34;;
hello(x,y)">test</a>
</body>

</html>

Answer 7

A:

Guys, I'm using the same code that David said finally worked, but the server side code is not executing... it comes through as a text string instead. Arrg!

onclick='procedureChecked(&#39;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "fceventtypeid") %>&#39;);'

javascript:

function procedureChecked(fceventtypeid)
{
    alert(fceventtypeid);
}

result is a popup message with the following text:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "fceventtypeid") %>

As you might imagine, my desired result is the evaluated expression, not the text of the expression! :)

FYI, my control is a checkbox instead of an anchor. Also, my javascript is in a separate .js file.

Thoughts?

Thanks, -Jeremy

Try using " instead of 'This is the same as swapping single quotes for double quotes.

David HAust 2010-02-25 03:46:46

I have this same issue. Swapping the quote type did not work. Jeremy, did you find a solution?
