Answer 1

When you are working in an asp.net environment you can use:

ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "myscript", "the script", true);

You know we can't execute javascript from code behind at server side. What we can do is to register a java script and make it run after the page is rendered at client side. Here is an example:

//Page_Load method in Default.aspx.cs, notepad code
string js = "<script type='text/javascript'> alert('hello world!'); </script>";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(),"helloworld",js);

Here I use a string directly, usually you can generate a complex javascript with StringBuilder. RegisterStartupScript will add the js to the page and execute it when the script is loaded.
