javascript unterminated string constant

Question

I have the following function which I pass in a value, but this value is coming from the database. However I get the following javascript when doing the following:

showrootcausedetails('showrootcause',true,'<%# eval("Root Cause Analysis").ToString() %>')

I know I have to escape the characters, but How can I do that without knowing what is in the actual string?

Thanks,

Jacob

Call Server.JavaScriptStringEncode.

+1 - OP might be on less than .NET 4.0 though. There's some solutions to that here - stackoverflow.com/questions/2920752/…

Do I need to reference something before using that function ?

I am getting the the same error text for this: var setScript = "<script></script>";
