link button client csript

[Simon]

I have linkButton:
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkAddMedia" runat="server" CausesValidation="false"
Text="ADD media"></asp:LinkButton>

In code behind file(c#) I add a client script to this link button:
lnkAddMedia.OnClientClick="vbscript:selectMedia('1')";

When page is rendered, the rendered code is:

<a onclick="vbscript:selectMedia('1');"
id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lnkAddMedia"
href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$lnkAddMedia','')">ADD
media</a>

and I get script error message on the page:
error: Expected end of statement

I guess that error is because of semicolon, which is added to my script:
vbscript:selectMedia('1');
(vbSCript doesn't have semicolons).

This semi colon was added automatically. How can I remove that?

One way is to put javascript instead of vbscript, but I preffer programming
in vbscript, because I have all program written in this language.


Thank you for your answers,
Simon

Why not use:

lnkaddmedia.attributes.add("onclick","vbscript:selectMedia(1)")

That shouldn't do any special formatting.

Hi,

"lnkaddmedia.attributes.add" is obsolete - that is massage given by new
visual studio 2005.

So I use "lnkAddMedia.OnClientClick" - that is recomended method by VS2005.

But no matter which method I use, I always get the semicolon when the page
is rendered.

I don't know why?

So I rewrite my function to javascript but still I would like to know the
reason.

I have the latest Visual studio 2005 version: 8.0.50727.42, asp.net version:
2.0.50727 and project is in C# language.

Any idea?

Regards,S

Answer to your question.

It may be obsolete but use
lnkaddmedia.attributes.add(" onclick","vbscript:selectMedia(1)")

or

lnkaddmedia.attributes.add(" onclick","selectMedia(1)")

Note the space before the onclick. The space should prevent VS from recognizing the attribute of onclick, and therefore not preprocess it. (Add the semicolon)

My only wish is that Microsoft used it's own products :laugh:

FYI: I am using
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
