This is where i call the function using onclick:"sendValuesNew

<td width="10%"><a href="#" class="blueLinkSub" onclick="sendValuesNew('<%=vo.getCode()%>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<%=CMSUtil.appendBackslash(vo.getDescription())%>');"><%=vo.getCode()%></a></td>

the string:
vo.getDescription() = "LIGHT-FOR-DATES" WITHOUT MENTION OF FETAL MALNUTRITION,

is causing a problem.. and the javascript function is not working
The Javascript function:

function sendValuesNew(numValNew) {
var mode = trim(document.frmNewWin.elements['mode'].value);

alert(" mode is " + mode);
if(mode == 1)
{
alert("This is a Javascript Alert1");


opener.document.forms[0].PrimDiag.value = numValNew;
opener.document.forms[0].PrimDiag1.value = numValNew;

}
if(mode == 2)
{
alert("This is a Javascript Alert2");

opener.document.forms[0].SecDiag.value = numValNew;
opener.document.forms[0].SecDiag1.value = numValNew;

}

window.close();
}

Before writing the character string with quotes in it to the event handler value, you'll either have to write a slash in front of each double quote (\"), or substitute &#34 for each one. It's not the Javascript as such that's causing the problem, it's having the quotation marks inside the other quotation marks.

Appending the double quotes with a backslash is not working...

Not append, PREPEND. Show the code that comes out on the page so we can see what the problem is.

ya.. i am sorry.. i meant prepend..

the code which comes after prepending the string with baclslashes is:

\"LIGHT-FOR-DATES\" WITHOUT MENTION OF FETAL MALNUTRITION,

Still this string when passed as a argument to the javascript function is causing problems

Show the code written on the page after the ASP is processed.
