Javascript alert not working from code behind

Question

I am generating a javascript alert box from codebehind in asp.net(vb).

The code:

            Catch ex As Exception
                MesgBox(\"Error in up         


        

Answer 1

To carry on with the answer given by Pointy, your message contains ' characters, which you need to escape.

Try this...

  msgedtble = msgedtble.Replace(vbNewLine, "\n").Replace("'","\'")

It is also better to have type='text/javascript' rather than language='javascript'... although this is not absolutely necessary.
