Let say I have the following javascript
function blob(alertText) {
alert(alertText);
}
I would like to call the function within my view. something like:
<% if (x == 0)
//Need to Call the javascript function here. e.g. blob("sometext");
%>
How can I call the the javascript function within the enclosed if statement in my view?
Try:
<% if (x == 0) { %>
<script type="text/javascript">blob("sometext");</script>
<% } %>
Since the Javascript needs to be put on the page, you need to close off the <% %> tags so that you can print HTML. The specific HTML needs to be a <script> tag that calls the function you need.
Put a script tag calling the javasript function inside the if statement:
<% if (x == 0) { %>
<script type="text/javascript">blob("sometext");</script>
<% } %>
I know that you're not using Razor (because of your code sample), but if you want to use it at some time, you can do it like this
@if (x == 0)
{
<text>
<script type="text/javascript">blob("sometext");</script>
</text>
}
or
@if (x == 0)
{
@: <script type="text/javascript">blob("sometext");</script>
}
