Question

I’m having this issue and I can’t seem to get my way.

I use:

$('#DIV').html("<%=DIVContent%>");

The function DIVContent (.NET C sharp code) basically returns the contents of (a) page(s) dynamically. AJAX is not an option (cross domain) so it has to be fetched server-side. The server-side function also does the necessary stripping (replacing ” with ‘ etc). This all works fine, the html gets into the div correctly.

Now I’m having a page with some jQuery code in it. This causes my .html(…) to break.
I’ve tried a lot of things, like htmlEncoding etc to make this work but no avail.

Can anyone tell me which steps I need to take?

Edit: also, the javascript error I get is: ulterminated string literal $(‘#DIV’).html(“……..”)
Edit II: Orbiting Eden did some nice out of the box thinking and it’s solved now. Instead of filling the DIV with jQuery using .html() I now directly insert the contents using <%DIVContent%>. Credits to him for thinking differently 🙂 By the way, if anyone knows why .html() fails when JavaScript/jQuery code is inserted and how to tackle it.. Please do respond 🙂 Thanks a lot!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try:

<div id="one"><%=DIVContent%></div>

This is the most direct solution for you. After much thought, I can’t see where you need javascript involved at all
