Question

<% string s=LinkButton_ID.Text; %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton_ID" runat="server" Text="LinkButton_Text" onclientclick="JscriptFunction(...)">
</asp:LinkButton>

I want to send the “s” as parameter to JscriptFunction. I try JscriptFunction(<% s %>); but doesnt work. Do you have any suggestions? thank you

Try this:

JscriptFunction('<%= s %>');

Don’t forget to quote the text value in your JS function call.

EDIT:

I didn’t notice that your call to JscriptFunction is inside your server tag. If you don’t have access to jQuery, the easiest way to pass the client-side text of the button is probably this:

onclientclick="JscriptFunction(this.innerHTML)"

Here’s an example working on jsFiddle.

You can also pass the client-side ID of the control and manipulate the value using JavaScript. Make sure you have ClientIDMode="Predictable" or ClientIDMode="Static" set on the control if you do it this way.
