Unterminated string constant

[iaswnidou]

Hello

I am trying to add a tooltip to an asp.net datagrid row in the ItemDataBound event like this:

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then 
           Dim tooltip As New StringBuilder 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_AgentCompany").ToString().Length > 0, "Agent Company: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_AgentCompany").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Contact").ToString().Length > 0, "Contact: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Contact").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Tel").ToString().Length > 0, "Tel: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Tel").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(Not dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Age_Name").ToString().StartsWith("N/s"), "Age: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Age_Name").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(Not dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Condition_Name").ToString().StartsWith("N/s"), "Condition: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Condition_Name").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(Not dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("PrevTenure_Name").ToString().StartsWith("N/s"), "Previous Tenure: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("PrevTenure_Name").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(Not dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Size_Name").ToString().StartsWith("N/s"), "Size: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Size_Name").ToString() & "," & Environment.NewLine(), Nothing)) 
           tooltip.Append(IIf(dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Datecompleted").ToString().Length > 0, "Date completed: " & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Datecompleted").ToString(), Nothing)) 

           Dim strTooltip As String = tooltip.ToString() 
           If dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("Property_Datecompleted").ToString().Length = 0 Then 
               strTooltip = strTooltip.Remove(strTooltip.Length - 3, 3) 
           End If 

           e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "return overlib('" & strTooltip & "');") 
           e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "return nd();")

In the aspx page i added in the head:

<script type="text/javascript" src="Javascripts\OverLib\overlib.js"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></script>

and in the body:

<div id="overDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;"></div>

When I run the code I get an error popup saying "Unterminated string constant". When i view the source it looks like this:

<tr class="datagridRow" onmouseover="return overlib('Agent Company: Kostas Ltd., 
Contact: Victoria, 
Tel: 07723360935, 
Age: 1950 -1970, 
Condition: Recently refurbished, 
Previous Tenure: No LA history, 
Size: Medium');" onmouseout="return nd();">

Can you identify the error?

but i dont want the tooltip to be displayed in 1 long line

so, writing invalid javascript will not solve your issue. try adding <br /> tags instead of your line breaks.
