Javascript Issues

[mlawre10]

***for some reason when my Javascript fires it causes the objects on the page to change...the textboxes are a different size, the font changes & the grid also....this a sample of some of the code i'm using...
If txType.Text = "IntermittentFMLA" Or txType.Text = "FMLAMoreThan40" Then
If cbPaid.Checked = False And cbUnpaid.Checked = False And cbPartialPaid.Checked = False Then
Dim message As String = "Please select pay status!"
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"">" & vbCrLf)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("alert(""" & message & """)" & vbCrLf)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</SCRIPT>")
cbPaid.Focus()
Exit Sub
End If


any advice!!!! help

Well for starters if you plan to use double quotes through the string, you have to escape one of em.

Yer JPnyc is absolutely right use this instead:

Dim onloadScript As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
onloadScript.Append("<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>" + vbCrLf)
onloadScript.Append("<!--" + vbCrLf)
onloadScript.Append("alert('Message');" + vbCrLf)
onloadScript.Append("//-->" + vbCrLf)
onloadScript.Append("<" + "/script>")
' Register script with page 
Me.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "onLoadCall", onloadScript.ToString())

Or

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>" + vbCrLf)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<!--" + vbCrLf)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("alert('Message');" + vbCrLf)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("//-->" + vbCrLf)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<" + "/script>")

Hope that helps
