You can write it exactly as it is written in you sample, which, however, does not make much sense and not valid. The use of this attribute is different: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/att_a_rel.asp[^].

How can I convert the given code to <asp:hyperlink>?

David_Wimbley 26-May-13 23:55pm

What given code are you asking about? your code? or the code from the w3schools sample?

Chris N.P. 26-May-13 23:59pm

The one that I provided.

And the code that I provided is connected to a jquery.

Can't you see: it makes no sense?

For you it may not have sense but for me it does. It's just a pigment of an asp.net application that I'm creating. What I just want to know is, how can I re-write this in asp:hyperlink. If it's still doesn't make sense then leave it as it is. Thanks.

Read the referenced article again. OK, what do you want to achieve with this "rel"?

Alright, I'm creating tooltip image. I have my external javascript file to handle this. Now this script used "rel" to capture the location of the file. Alright I understand that the use of "a" tag is different. For that I'm going to use ASP:LinkButton instead. I understand if this doesn't make sense since I didn't provide the whole idea. So I'm going to ask you a different question instead. Say I have this line of code:

[exScript.js]

$("body").append("<p id='screenshot'><img src='"+ this.rel +"' alt='url preview' />"+ c +"</p>");

and in my aspx page I have this:

<asp:LinkButton runat="server" CssClass="lFilename" ID="grdlinkFilename" Text='<%#Eval("FILENAME")%>' CommandArgument='<%#Eval("FILEPATH")%>' OnCommand="grdlinkFilename_click">

Note: This control is inside of a gridview.

The "rel" on the script is from the "a" tag that I provided.

What I want to do now is to replace "this.rel" on the script with the exact path of the file (image file). I tried replacing "this.rel" with "this.CommandArgument" but it doesn't work. There is a pop up but it's only showing what ever in the "alt" element as indicated on the script (alt='url preview');

This is just an attribute; you can do whatever you want to do with attributes in this way:
http://api.jquery.com/attr/

But you are going to misuse the "rel" attribure. Don't do anything with it. If you are using <img src="..."/<, do exactly that, not anything else.
