the question says it all : i have a linkbutton to which i pass through CommandArgument a value and i need that value to be a javascript value. Thanks!

Edit :

here is my linkbutton tag :

< asp:linkbutton id="prevBut"
runat="server" OnCommand="load_com"
CommandArgument=to_place_javascript_string
Text="previous" />

and the function :

public void load_com(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)

{ //get the string from e and search through the database for something   }

i want to pass the name of a photo that is stored in a variable $.galleria.current.

    You need to stop for a moment and think about what the LinkButton is actually doing. It’s not magic. It’s just posting the form for you.

    As such, you can…

    • define an onsubmit handler to stuff that javascript value into a hidden form field

    • or, replace that LinkButton with a simple <a onclick=”dostuff()”> pointing at a function that stuffs your value into a hidden form field and submits the form

    • or, replace that LinkButton with a simple <a onclick=”dostuff()”> pointing at a function that constructs a URL containing ?myvalue=whatever and redirects to it.

    There’s no reason you need to involve ASP:LinkButton in any of it. If the built-in ASP.NET controls aren’t doing what you want. All you need to do is stop using them.

    (Incidentally, you’ll have a much happier and more productive career in the .NET world if you stop using Microsoft’s Rich Controls in favor of their HTML equivalents. Those things are there so that non-programmers can drag/drop their way to unmaintainable websites. Since you’re here, we can assume you’re not a non-programmer, and are therefore smart enough to ignore the marketing portions of ASP.NET and use the good stuff directly.)
