Executing a HTML Side JavaScript Function

[apc2003]

I have a function in the HTML side of my .aspx page with the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function downloadNow(file,extUrl)
{
var browser = (window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("SV1") != -1);
if (browser && extUrl==0) 
{
window.open(file, 'DownloadFile', 'width=1,height=1');
window.focus();
}
//-->
</script>

From the C# side I need to execute this method, but when I put a call in for this method using:

Response.Write(@"<script>downloadnow('"+filePath+@"','0');</script>");

where filePath is my path of the file I want to download...
I keep getting a Javascript Error: "Object Expected"
and the code fails.

Can anyone suggest want is going wrong as I think this should work as the Javascript code runs fine in a standard html page. The problem seems to be when I call the JavaScript method from the C# side.

Regards in advance...

the problem occures because the call to the javascript function is made before the function is actually outputed to the page.

to overcome this use

Literal li = new Literal(@"<script>downloadnow('"+filePath+@"','0');</script>");
Page.Controls.Add(li);

instead of Response.Write(...)

Thanks for the code but it returns the following error,

Error: No overload for method 'Literal' takes '1' arguments

Please advise as to how to make it work as I am unfamiliar with Literals.

use LiteralControl instead of Literal (sorry, my bad)
