thanks for reply, tried your solution but this is what I get:


sb.AppendLine("<a href='#' onclick='openEditPostWindow('<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'ID') %>'); return false;'>edit your post</a><br />");
the results are:

'); return false;'>edit your post

shows as link, but also shows the '); return false;'>   text instead of just edit your post  also when I click on link does not fire the onclick event

Now
this openeditpostwindow ,is that javascript function available in the page.
Next whe you put your eval expression within quotes,that would become a normal string.
Can you post the full code here
