Need assistance with returning a value

[linuxjr]

I have two pages page1.aspx and page2.aspx. Page1 opens up page2 in a popup window. Page2 has a datagrid with a button column which is select. I have this in my selectedindexchanged:

DataGridItem dgi = dtgEQ.SelectedItem;
Response.Write(@"<script language=JavaScript>opener.document.frmWO.txtEqID.value = " + dgi.Cells[1].Text +";</script>");

Anyways dgi.Cells[1].Text is returning the correct value that I'm trying to pass back to page1. The problem I am having is when I send the value to page1 it comes up differently. Example Cells[1] = 123-45678 but when it goes to page1 it returns as -8888. I am pretty stumped and figured an extra pair of eyes might help me find the problem. Any tips or suggestions will be appreciated. Have a great day.

Response.Write(@"<script language=JavaScript>opener.document.frmWO.txtEqID.value = '" + JSEncode(dgi.Cells[1].Text) +"';</script>");

Don't forget the single quotes above.


Public Function JSEncode(ByVal s As String) As String
s = Replace(s, "\", "\\")
s = Replace(s, "'", "\'")
s = Replace(s, """", "\""")
s = Replace(s, Chr(10), "\n")
s = Replace(s, Chr(13), "\r")
Return s
End Function

RTomes,

Thank you so much. I knew an extra pair of eyes would help me catch something so simple. That will teach me to program with a few hours of sleep. Have yourself a great day/night.

Also, don't use Response.Write for anything apart from testing.

If you are wanting to add javascript to a page there are other ways to do it such as Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock and Page.RegisterStartupScript.

ca8msm,
Thank you for the tip. I have actually changed it into a function that uses Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock and Page.RegisterStartupScript. At the time of my posting I was just trying to see if it was possible to include the javascript to my select button. Have yourself a great day.
