How to escape a double-quote in inline c# script within javascript?

Question

How can I make the following inline c# work within javascript? I have had no luck with escape characters, but I am sure I'm just doing something wrong.

var inputId = "<%= applicationForm.FindControl("myInput").ClientID %>";

Unless the ClientID-property contains a quote, your code is fine. Or at lease the line you posted. — Svante Svenson

You can simply use single quotes in JavaScript to define String literals:

var inputId = '<%= applicationForm.FindControl("myInput").ClientID %>';
