I have a function that generates a javascript code for me.
<img src="abc.png" alt="hello" onclick="<%: getOnCilckJS(arg) %>" />
c# code
protected String getOnCilckJS(int arg)
{
if (arg==1)
{
return "alert('hello world');";
}
else
{ return "alert('hello universe');";
}
}
all works fine apart from when the page is loaded asp.net converts single quotations ' to the encoded html string (')
How can I avoid this and make ' appear in the html?
Your code working to me :
But just change <%: to <%= ( and I send the parameter myself)
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="xxxx.aspx.cs" Inherits="SampleAngularApp.xxxx" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
**<img src="abc.png" alt="hello" onclick="<%= getOnCilckJS(11) %>" />**
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Server side
**protected string getOnCilckJS(int arg)**
{
if (arg == 1)
{
return "alert('hello world');";
}
else
{
return "alert('hello universe');";
}
}
I got the alert message without any single quote
Your application is Web Forms or MVC?
If it is MVC, you can try the Html.Raw(...) function, If it is Web Forms you can check this link.
You're using <%: %>, which actually does encode the value. You're looking for <%= %>.
See also Diference between special tags asp.net.
In ASP.NET WebForms the razor syntax is invalid so the way to stop the string encoding in the output of a string is to use the HtmlString() for example the inline syntax is:
<%: new HtmlString(stringVariable) %>
Below is an example how to output a variable in JavaScript inline code on a ASP.NET WebForm page. The code sample outputs a C# string array into a JavaScript array:
<script type="text/javascript">
var array = ["<%: new HtmlString(string.Join(@""",""", stringArray)) %>"];
</script>
Normally, the double quote characters are html encoded and converted as " and breaks the JavaScript syntax - using the HtmlString() method stops the encoding.
However, as stated in previous answer to avoid using the HtmlString() simply use the appropriate special ASP.Net tag syntax to output your values - <%: %> encodes characters and <%= %> is raw output!
