This is my html
@model MarketingPhoneBook.Models.Responses.ContactLogResponse
@{
Layout = "";
}
<form method="post" id="idForm" action="/Home/CreateLog">
<div class="form-group">
@{
var mystring = Html.Raw(Model.NewLog.CallLogText);
}
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.NewLog.CallLogText, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label " })
<div onclick="addDate('@mystring')">
@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.NewLog.CallLogText, new { @class = "", @style = "width: 100%; max-width: inherit;", @rows = "15", @onblur = "save()", @type = "submit" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.NewLog.CallLogText, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.NewLog.ContactId)
</form>
and this is my js function
function addDate(text) {
return text = new Date() + " " + text;
}
Model.NewLog.CallLogText is of type string. Onclick event does not get triggered
Use HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode Method to encode string before passing to JS:
@{
var mystring = Html.Raw(HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(Model.NewLog.CallLogText));
}
