I add several JavaScript events (onchange, onkeypress, etc.) to Controls
using the Add method of the Attributes collection. However, if the
JavaScript code contains certain characters, such as & or < or several
others, it converts them to html, such as & or < which can sometimes
cause my scripts not to work. How can I prevent ASP.NET from doing this?
Thanks.

That would be great if I were using something like the
System.Web.UI.H tmlTextWriter, but I am simply adding attributes objects
created declaratively in my *.aspx file. For example, I have the following
as part of my *.aspx file:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtRed" runat="server" MaxLength="3"
Width="35px">0</asp:TextBox>
And I have the following in my *.aspx.vb file:
txtRed.Attribut es.Add("onchang e", "if(this.value> =0&&this.value< =255){" &
redslider.Clien tSetFunctionNam e & "(this.value);} else{this.value =" &
redslider.Clien tGetFunctionNam e & "();}")
When my page is rendered, this comes out as the following (notice that the
&'s and < are replaced with their HTML representations ):
onchange="if(th is.value>=0& ;&this.valu e<=255){slid erRed_setvalue( this.value);}el se{this.value=s liderRed_getval ue();}"
The Server.HtmlDeco de() method would not help me here because the
Attributes.Add( ) method takes a String as it's second parameter, and
Server.HtmlDeco de() would not have any effect on it in my case, so I would
actually be passing the same String. Any other ideas? Thanks.

not need to add javascript to .net control attributes and could simply

In the first link you provided, the following example is given:
TextBox1.Attrib utes("onblur") = "javascript :ale rt('Hello! Focus lost from
text box!!');"
First of all, the value in this example does not have any characters that
would be affected by Server.HtmlEnco de(). Second, it does not use the Add()
method (I would be willing to use either one, I do prefer the Add() method).
In your second link, the following example is given:

This example, like you said, is not even JavaScript, and also does not have

That might be true if you're talking about generating a *.js file using
ASP.NET. The reason I am adding the attributes using ASP.NET code is because
a large amount of the JavaScript is generated (it is different for different
instances of the control). You are correct in that I could create functions
and then call the functions, but since a large amount of my JavaScript is
generated, this would involve creating a lot of functions, many of which
might be only one line, almost doubling the amount of JavaScript, and it
would also involve generating unique names for all the functions. This could
end up being very inefficient, as well as confusing and increasing the
download size of the page.

Nathan, in addition to Cor's suggestions, let me add that there is not much
you can do at this point that can change what is output by the
htmltextwriter. It's this writer which actually minimally HTML-encodes
everything. This is possibly for xhtml comformance, since an & is not a
legal character within an xml document and needs to be escaped. So are
characters like <>. I cant imagine you working around this, without doing
something a bit trival like through the HttpResponse.Fi lter which gives you
a chance to rewrite what is output by the htmltextwriter before it is
transmitted to the page =P http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...se.filter.aspx
There is full working example in the above url, that shows you howto attach
a filter to the response stream that makes the text displayed to the page
all uppercase.You will be searching for & or whatever other html code
characters you dont want, and replacing them with the original you had
wanted.
That said, can you explain further why you want to work around this ? I dont
understand why your script shouldnt work *sometimes* with those characters
escaped.
Your problem, in my humble opinion is somewhere else, possibly in the js
code that you are writing, but i cant say much since the code you pasted
works very well *always* for me. I have pasted the code i tested below. Let
us know, what you are doing differently and under what circumstance its not
working for you.

I haven't really had any problems with the JavaScript not working because of
this, but it worries (not to mention frustrates) me that I might in the
future for the following reason:
Cross-browser compatibility: I am afraid that some new version of some
browser (or maybe even an existing one, as of now I have only tested on IE6)
will not like this incorrect JavaScript syntax

There is full working example in the above url, that shows you howto
attach a filter to the response stream that makes the text displayed to
the page all uppercase.You will be searching for & or whatever other
html code characters you dont want, and replacing them with the original
you had wanted.
That said, can you explain further why you want to work around this ? I
dont understand why your script shouldnt work *sometimes* with those
characters escaped.
Your problem, in my humble opinion is somewhere else, possibly in the js
code that you are writing, but i cant say much since the code you pasted
works very well *always* for me. I have pasted the code i tested below.
Let us know, what you are doing differently and under what circumstance
its not working for you.

>Nathan,
You cannot use a ship to fly, in my opinion are you trying that by using
the wrong commands, if you want to fly with a ship, than you have a lot
of troubles, with a plane it is much easier.
What your cargo is, is not the first question.
Just my thought, reading your reply.

>>In the first link you provided, the following example is given:
TextBox1.Attr ibutes("onblur" ) = "javascript:ale rt('Hello! Focus lost
from text box!!');"
First of all, the value in this example does not have any characters
that would be affected by Server.HtmlEnco de(). Second, it does not use
the Add() method (I would be willing to use either one, I do prefer the
Add() method). In your second link, the following example is given:
FirstSelect.A ttributes.Add(" Multiple", "True")
This example, like you said, is not even JavaScript, and also does not
have any characters that would be affected by Server.HtmlEnco de().

Nathan,
Are you sure you do not need this one. (In this page is a nice sample)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ttributes.aspx
Now you are using this one to add an attribute let say to an listbox,
which is in my idea sure not a piece of javascript
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ction.add.aspx
I hope this helps,

That would be great if I were using something like the
System.Web. UI.HtmlTextWrit er, but I am simply adding attributes
objects created declaratively in my *.aspx file. For example, I have
the following as part of my *.aspx file:
>
>
<asp:TextBo x ID="txtRed" runat="server" MaxLength="3"
Width="35px ">0</asp:TextBox>
>
>
And I have the following in my *.aspx.vb file:
>
>
txtRed.Attr ibutes.Add("onc hange",
"if(this.va lue>=0&&this.va lue<=255){" &
redslider.C lientSetFunctio nName & "(this.value);} else{this.value =" &
redslider.C lientGetFunctio nName & "();}")
>
>
When my page is rendered, this comes out as the following (notice that
the &'s and < are replaced with their HTML representations ):
>
>
onchange="i f(this.value>=0 &&this. value<=255){ sliderRed_setva lue(this.value) ;}else{this.val ue=sliderRed_ge tvalue();}"
>
>
The Server.HtmlDeco de() method would not help me here because the
Attributes. Add() method takes a String as it's second parameter, and
Server.Html Decode() would not have any effect on it in my case, so I
would actually be passing the same String. Any other ideas? Thanks.
