Stopping Attributes.Add from converting my JavaScript event code to HTMLI add several JavaScript events (onchange, onkeypress, etc.) to Controls
using the Add method of the Attributes collection. However, if the JavaScript code contains certain characters, such as & or < or several others, it converts them to html, such as & or < which can sometimes cause my scripts not to work. How can I prevent ASP.NET from doing this? Thanks. Hi Nathan,
For that is the HTML en/decode classes. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWebHttpServerUtilityClassHtmlEncodeTopic1.asp I hope this helps, Cor Show quoteHide quote "Nathan Sokalski" <njsokal***@hotmail.com> schreef in bericht news:OWPqYt2rGHA.608@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I add several JavaScript events (onchange, onkeypress, etc.) to Controls >using the Add method of the Attributes collection.

System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter, but I am simply adding attributes objects created declaratively in my *.aspx file. For example, I have the following as part of my *.aspx file: <asp:TextBox ID="txtRed" runat="server" MaxLength="3" Width="35px">0</asp:TextBox> And I have the following in my *.aspx.vb file: txtRed.Attributes.Add("onchange", "if(this.value>=0&&this.value<=255){" & redslider.ClientSetFunctionName & "(this.value);}else{this.value=" & redslider.ClientGetFunctionName & "();}") When my page is rendered, this comes out as the following (notice that the &'s and < are replaced with their HTML representations): onchange="if(this.value>=0&&this.value<=255){sliderRed_setvalue(this.value);}else{this.value=sliderRed_getvalue();}" The Server.HtmlDecode() method would not help me here because the Attributes.Add() method takes a String as it's second parameter, and Server.HtmlDecode() would not have any effect on it in my case, so I would actually be passing the same String. Any other ideas? Thanks.

ASP.NET. The reason I am adding the attributes using ASP.NET code is because a large amount of the JavaScript is generated (it is different for different instances of the control). You are correct in that I could create functions and then call the functions, but since a large amount of my JavaScript is generated, this would involve creating a lot of functions, many of which might be only one line, almost doubling the amount of JavaScript, and it would also involve generating unique names for all the functions. This could end up being very inefficient, as well as confusing and increasing the download size of the page.

You cannot use a ship to fly, in my opinion are you trying that by using the wrong commands, if you want to fly with a ship, than you have a lot of troubles, with a plane it is much easier.

you can do at this point that can change what is output by the htmltextwriter. It's this writer which actually minimally HTML-encodes everything. This is possibly for xhtml comformance, since an & is not a legal character within an xml document and needs to be escaped. So are characters like <>. I cant imagine you working around this, without doing something a bit trival like through the HttpResponse.Filter which gives you a chance to rewrite what is output by the htmltextwriter before it is transmitted to the page =P http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpresponse.filter.aspx There is full working example in the above url, that shows you howto attach a filter to the response stream that makes the text displayed to the page all uppercase.You will be searching for & or whatever other html code characters you dont want, and replacing them with the original you had wanted. That said, can you explain further why you want to work around this ? I dont understand why your script shouldnt work *sometimes* with those characters escaped. Your problem, in my humble opinion is somewhere else, possibly in the js code that you are writing, but i cant say much since the code you pasted works very well *always* for me. I have pasted the code i tested below. Let us know, what you are doing differently and under what circumstance its not working for you.

Doing it
otherwise, the way you want is incorrect. For eg. if you were using js codeblocks in your page as <script type="text/javascript">code here</script> then you will be wrapping your code in cData blocks to escape the usual <> and & ampersand characters and is mandatory for compliance with xhtml strict doctype. For inline js, you have to escape special characters, of which asp.net's htmltextwriter is automatically escaping for you is the properway. So any standards compliant useragent will support this and well.
