call c# function within javascript

[karenRoss]

Basically I want to do something like this:

Code:

on the .aspx page
<script language="javascript">
setHorizontalLabels([<%# Function %>]);
</script>

"Function" being a function in my .aspx.cs that returns an array

I just can't seem to get my <% %> to be recognized within the script tag.
Any thoughts?

I have read a few postings about this topic and it seems that the most popular way to accomplish this is to have your JavaScript function set a hidden form variable, then do a form.submit(). Then in the page_load event of your code behind use the Request object to find the presence or value of your hidden form variable. Once you have established the presence or value of the variable you can call the setHorizonalLabels method that you were trying to call from the javascript function.

Good Luck.
