problem using page.registerstartupscript

Question

Hello,

I am using page.registerstartupscript in my code behind C#. Its like this:

string item1="category1"; string Script = "window.program = '" + item1 + "';"; Page.RegisterStartupScript("PopupScript", Script);

item1 gets generated dynamically from some value in code behind. But its not working. Any suggestoins where I m getting wrong?

Answer 1

You need it wrapped in script tags, there's an overload for this in the newer replacement ClientScript:

string item1="category1";
string Script = "window.program = '" + item1 + "';";
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "PopupScript", Script, true);

Unless you're on .Net 1.1 I believe, Page.RegisterStartupScript is deprecated.

Answer 2

I did what you were saying but I m getting something like this when I m checking view source on page:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var __wpmExportWarning='This Web Part Page has been personalized. As a result, one or more Web Part properties may contain confidential information. Make sure the properties contain information that is safe for others to read. After exporting this Web Part, view properties in the Web Part description file (.WebPart) by using a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad.';var __wpmCloseProviderWarning='You are about to close this Web Part.  It is currently providing data to other Web Parts, and these connections will be deleted if this Web Part is closed.  To close this Web Part, click OK.  To keep this Web Part, click Cancel.';var __wpmDeleteWarning='You are about to permanently delete this Web Part.  Are you sure you want to do this?  To delete this Web Part, click OK.  To keep this Web Part, click Cancel.';window.program = 'category1';//]]>
</script>

but I only need

<script type="text/javascript">
window.program = 'category1';
</script>

Can you tell me how to achieve this
