How to access the resource file using javascript?

show the code for vb first, than we can convert it to javascript

Hi,
I have a javascript alert

alert('this should come from resource file')

In resource.resx
name = strAlert
value = "this should come from resource file"

How do i use the javascript (in this case the alert) to call the strAlert in the resource file?

in code behibd do this

public msg as string
...
msg = get value from resource file and set it...

and on javascript use this

alert('<%=msg%>');

I hope you know how to get message from resource file...

HainKurt,

if str is a public function like this

'Public Function Str(Number As Object) As String'

then you should use like

alert('<%=str(1)%>');

for example...

@HainKurt

Are you sure we can use the <% %> inside JavaScript?
