The server tag is not well formed.

[Guest]

Hi all,
I'm getting the 'The server tag is not well formed.' error for this tag in
aspx page

<a href="javascriptpenPopup('default.aspx?EmpID=<%# Eval("EmpID")
%>&Type=1')" id="lnkDestination" name="lnkDestination"
accesskey="lnkDestination" runat="server">Show</a>

Can anybody please help me in resolving this?

Thanks for your help

Should be able to resolve this by switching your quotes. Single quotes for
your properties and doublequotes inside the javascript.

<a href='javascriptpenPopup("default.aspx?EmpID=<%# Eval("EmpID") %>&Type=1")'

id='lnkDestination'
name='lnkDestination'
accesskey='lnkDestination'
runat='server'>
Show
</a>

Howdy,

<a href="<%#
String.Format("javascriptpenPopup('default.aspx?EmpID={0}&Type=1\')",
Eval("EmpID")) %>" id="lnkDestination" name="lnkDestination"
accesskey="lnkDestination" runat="server">Show</a>

Hope this helps

David,
Thanks for the reply
After changing it also it's not working.
Instead of the Caption 'Show' it is displaying entire pagename and id name
and accesskey names.
One more thing is if i remove the runat tag then everything is working fine

Thanks

Howdy,

Forgot ASP.NET forums will escape &quot;

It should be (hopefully):

<a href="<%#
String.Format(&quot;javascriptpenPopup('default.aspx?EmpID={0}&Type=1\')&quot;,
Eval(&quot;EmpID&quot) %>" id="lnkDestination" name="lnkDestination"
accesskey="lnkDestination" runat="server">Show</a>
