Eval and Apostrophe

[infodemers]

Hi everyone,

I have the following code:

<asp:TemplateField>
                                            <ItemTemplate>
                                                <a href="javascript:openPopup('Info.aspx?id=<%# Eval("strresultats") %>')">
                                                    <img alt='<%# Eval("strresultats") %>' src="Info.png" style="border: 0px; width: 32px;" /></a>
                                            </ItemTemplate>
                                        </asp:TemplateField>

For some reason, whenever there is an apostrophe into the strresultats variable, this won't work, Any idea ?

Thanks for your help!

hi ...

this is desired behaviour of javascript ... have a look at the following example, that works th normal way:

eval('alert("test")');

now we put a single quote in:

eval('alert("te'st")');

it will not work ... why? the single quote terminates the code after:

eval('alert("te'

so it cannot work. it is the same in your case ... the js-statement would be terminated with the single-quote in your result-string ... you may resolve it with:

eval('alert("te\'st")');

that means you have to escape the quote here ... and it is working again.

kind regards
