Passing C# variable to javascript

[jbatty]

I am trying to display an image on my page by using "img src= hyperlink".
the hyperlink is stored in a c# variable. but i seem to have the syntax
mixed up.

This passing the image directly works e.g.
objCell.Text = "<img src=\"image.gif\">";

but using a variable does not seen to work.

String imageLocation="image.gif";

objCell.Text = "<img src=imageLocation >";
i am having to use a variable because the statement will be used within a
loop

Thanks

The variable name in your example is included inside quotes and will thus be
interpreted as a string literal, NOT a variable name. Try this:

objCell.Text = string.Format("<img src=\"{0}\">", imageLocation.ToString());

Of course, if imageLocation is already a string you can omit ToString().

I hope this helps.
