i’m using a little javascript in my website for my navigation bar, which is made up of a few ImageButton controls. in the code behind i have this:

Dim homeImage As String = GetLocalResourceObject("HomeImage")

imgBtnHome.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOver", HomeImage)

and in the resx file, i’ve tried these, but they don’t work: (note the single and double quotes)

key: HomeImage     value: "this.src='images/HomeImage.gif'"

key: HomeImage     value: "this.src='images/HomeImage.gif'"

can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong? is it even possible to read “quoted” text from a local resource file?

    Yes, you can store quotes in a resx string value. If you look at the XML that’s generated for a resource file, you’ll see that the quotes are in the value entries.

    However, your script isn’t going to work with quotes around it. Think of it this way – say you wanted to pop up an alert box. You would do:

    imgBtnHome.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOver", "alert('hi')")

    NOT

    imgBtnHome.Attributes.Add("OnMouseOver", """alert('hi')""");

    You’re passing in a string value for the script, not a quoted string value. Try removing the double quotes altogether, and leave the single quotes.
