Problem With A <%# ... %> Tag?

[cyber0ne]

I'm using Visual Studio to make a page for my website and the following line in my HTML code is giving me trouble (sorry for any wrapping):<a href='<%# "java script:PreviewPicture('" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Preview") + "', '" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Photo") + "');" %>'>The error I get is that, when I try to switch to Design View in Visual Studio, it tells me that I need to quote values differently in a <% ... %> block. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?-cyber0nehttp://www.cyber0ne.com

It is a bug in visual studio...you have done nothing wrong.If you use (") inside <%= %> you get this error. Try changing (") to (') if you can.you may have to resort to commenting out that bit of code each time you need to switch to design view.I know it is annoying but it is fixed in VS.Net 2005.

U can use like this<a href="<%# 'java script:PreviewPicture('" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Preview") + "', '" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Photo") + "');' %>">May be ur problem will be solved .u can aloso use Function like:This is good : Because Some browser Doesn't Support javascript. So instead of that below is more fair.----At HTML Side:<a href='<%#FetchScript(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Preview"), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Photo"))%>'>At Code Side:Public function FetchScript(byval strPrv as string, byval strPhoto as string) as string{dim strReturn as stringstrReturn = "java script:PreviewPicture('" & strPrv & "','" & strPhoto & "');"return strReturn}

You just say that your solution doesn't use javascriptthen....

At HTML Side:<a href='<%#FetchScript(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Preview"), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Photo"))%>'>At Code Side:Public function FetchScript(byval strPrv as string, byval strPhoto as string) as string{dim strReturn as stringstrReturn = "java script:PreviewPicture('" & strPrv & "','" & strPhoto & "');"return strReturn}

boom...javascript...how is that better then calling the javascript directly????
