I am using an mvc application and in _Layout.cshtml page I have some javascript I wanna pass it a value of
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["anID"].ToString()
here
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount',PASS THAT HERE!]);
How do I do this? I am not sure how to pass data to javascript??
You could try like this:
<%
var value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["anID"].ToString();
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', <%= value %>]);
</script>
or with the Razor view engine:
@{
var value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["anID"].ToString();
}
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', @value]);
</script>
In situations where you have more javascript than that, and are keeping it in a separate file from the view, you can also do this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _anId = @System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["anID"].ToString();
var _somethingElseNeededInJsFile = @Model.SomethingNeeded;
</script>
Then in the separate javascript file, you can reference the variables easily.
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', _anId]);
alert('You needed this: ' + _somethingElseNeededInJsFile);
