Hi,

I'm a beginner with javascript and asp net, i work with visual studio 2005.

I have a javascript function who add a value in a listbox:

function ListAddItem(listBoxId, value)

{

...

}

This function is on a parent page and on this page i have several links.

when i click on a link a child page opens, on this page there are some text box, i enter some string  and when i click the button

i call the opener.ListAddItem

script += "opener.ListAddItem('list1", '" + Value + "');";

that work of course, but there is a problem if i enter some string who contains some '  !!!

Ok before to call the function javascript i use string.replace("'","''"); in c sharp !

but that doesn't work because when i execute the code and enter a string with a ', the ' is well double '' but now my function fails because he think there are 3 parameter and not 2!!!

Have you got any idea ? 

Thanks in advance

use escape characters code while sending ' (apostrophe) in a parameter. other wise it will treat as another parameter value and doesn't executes your code..

 
Ex: ' (for apostrophe)

list of escape characters..

Hi,

Thanks for your fast reply !

now if i put your code in my code c sharp like :

 Value = Value.Replace("'", "'");

i execute the application, no fail when i enter value with ' but when the page is end of loading i see my value as for example:

christopheEU:

n'avez vous => i see after loading => n'avez vous !!!

And of course, i'd like to see n'avez vous

Any idea ?

again replace ' with ' 

 some think lik this.. Value = Value.Replace("'","'");

H JaganUnique,

if i understand, you tell me place code :

c sharp :Value = Value.Replace("'","'");

and on javascript for to delete ' and replace by ' put:

 Value = Value.Replace("'","';");

is it right ?

But, if just to test something and it's works

Value = Value.Replace("'", "\\'");

Hi christopheEU ,

I found a better way for sending apostrophe as a parameter value.. use \ followed by ' will solve your problem..
 

Ex.

 <script type="text/javascript">
function ShowVaue(ctrl,v)
{
alert(v);
//document.getElementById("Label1").value=v;

}
    </script>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="ShowVaue('d','n\'avez vous');" /> 

Hi Jagan.unique,

thanks for your reply ...that nice that work !

but, for to resolve my problem in my code c sharp now, i replace the ' by \\' and i have made some test and that's works !

your solution work too, but i don't know if the user has enter a ' or not !

As you can see i'm a real beginner :-) 

Thanks for your time

Christophe
