read c# variable from javascript

[GoTerps88]

I am dynamically generating a string in c# that I want to fill a <div> element within javascript. I'm having a few problems with the string parsing.

The 'somepage.aspx' is throwing an error within the javascript, says it is expecting ;.

<div id="stuff">
</div>
<%
string strDiv = "<ul><li><a href='somepage.aspx'></a></li></ul>";

%>
<script type="text/javascript">
var str = '<%= strDiv %>';
document.getElementById('stuff') = str;
</script>

document.getElementById('stuff').innerHTML = str;

I think the answer may involve using the Page.RegisterStartupScript method instead of what I am using now.

I beleive that you need to define any varaiable to be acessed by by script as PUBLIC at the CLASS level.

Actually I don't think you have to define a variable as public in order to use it in the script.

I ended up using the Page.RegisterStartupScript to solve the problem.

const string admin = "admin";
const string adminPg = "admin.aspx";

string myScript="<script language='javascript'>"; 

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(200);
sb.Append("'<ul>");

sb.Append("<li id=" + admin + "><a href=" + adminPg + ">" + admin + "</a></li>");

sb.Append("</ul>';");
myScript += "document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML= " + sb.ToString();
myScript += "</script>";

Page.RegisterStartupScript("myScript", myScript);

I released that the Page.RegisterStartupScript is now deprecated, so I substituted the ClientScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript in place.

Yeah. that is whole Scriopt fron INSIDE but if you want to use a variable to modify HTML then you need something like
VISIBLE='<%#EmplType = "E"%>'
