Triple Quotes? How do I delimit a databound Javascript string parameter in ASP.NET?
"How do I delimit a Javascript data-bound string parameter in an anchor OnClick event?
I have an anchor tag in an ASP.NET Repeater control. The OnClick event of the anchor contains a call to a Javascript function. The Javascript function takes a string for its input parameter. The string parameter is populated with a data-bound value from the Repeater.
I need the ""double quotes"" for the Container.DataItem. I need the 'single quotes' for the OnClick. And I still need one more delimiter (triple quotes?) for the input string parameter of the Javascript function call. Since I can't use 'single quotes' again, how do I ensure the Javascript function knows the input parameter is a string and not an integer? Without the extra quotes around the input string parameter, the Javascript function thinks I'm passing in an integer. The anchor: <a id=""aShowHide"" onclick='ToggleDisplay(<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, ""JobCode"") %>);' >Show/Hide</a>
And there is my Javascript: <script language=""JavaScript"" type=""text/javascript""> /* Shows/Hides the Jobs Div */ function ToggleDisplay(jobCode) { /* Each div has its ID set dynamically ('d' plus the JobCode) */ var elem = document.getElementById('d' + jobCode);
if (elem) { if (elem.style.display != 'block') { elem.style.display = 'block'; elem.style.visibility = 'visible'; } else { elem.style.display = 'none'; elem.style.visibility = 'hidden'; } } } </script>"
