Server tag not well formed

This thing always gets me.

onclick="DisplayExamMessage('<%# Eval("Description") %>')"

Any ideas!

What is the onclick coming from? A Button or a picture?

Its a asp.net hyperlink control.

<asp:HyperLink id="hlDescription" onclick="DisplayExamMessage()" NavigateUrl="#" Text="Read Description" runat="server"> </asp:HyperLink

Try

onclick=<%# DisplayExamMessage(Eval("Description").ToString()) %>

Hi,

But DisplayExamMessage is a JavaScript function.

onclick=<%# DisplayExamMessage(Eval("Description").ToString()) %>

Function DisplayExamMessage(ByVal t As String)

Return "DisplayExamMessage('" & t & "');"
End Function

Ugly but should work

I see.

Add DisplayExamMessage() to your server script. Then, do this:

protected string DisplayExamMessage(string descrition)
{
if(descrition.Trim().Length != 0)
return "javascript:DisplayExamMessage(" + descrition + ");"; //I use same name for your

//server script and javascript. You can use different name

else
return string.Empty;
}
