Problem with a String

[LiLo]

Hi, I am using C# to call a javascript function. A string represents the name of the javascript function. Below is a snippet of the 'before' and 'after' operations.

 

The original c# code is :

private const string AttachContextMenu = "return __showContextMenu({0});"; //this is the string which represents the javascript function

//then I use string.format on the string constant
public string GetMenuReference()
{
return String.Format(AttachContextMenu, Controls[0].ClientID);
}

//finally, the javascript is called upon the 'oncontextmenu' event
ctl1.Attributes["oncontextmenu"] = GetMenuReference();

But when I changed the GetMenuReference() method to the following,

return String.Format("return _showContextMenu({0});",Controls[0].ClientID);

 

the javascript function does not work anymore!! All I did was to replace the const variable with the actual string itself. How come it doesnt work already? :confused:

why you changed value of string:

"return __showContextMenu({0});"

to

"return _showContextMenu({0});"

look at _ and fix it.

yup,the problem lies with the extra underscore

 

Thanks! :)
