Passing a value(string) form razor model to JS with onclick attribut


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


Solution

  • Use HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode Method to encode string before passing to JS:

    @{
        var mystring = Html.Raw(HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(Model.NewLog.CallLogText));
    }
