Question

I have a server side variable

string test = "test";
ticks = "['" + test + "']";

I am setting ticks to a hidden field on the page but when I try to get the value in javascript the single quote is breaking the string and all i am getting from it is [.
Is there a way around this?

I am using c# 3.

Thanks

Instead of forming your string manually, use a json parser

string js = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new[]{"a","b","c"});
