Convert classic asp variable into jquery variable

Here is my code.. This is giving me a hard time though I know there is a simple answer

var开发者_StackOverflow社区 myVAr = '<%=data.name%>';

$(myVAr).insertAfter("#thisDiv");

You must call insertAfter on a jquery object. So you could do:

var myVAr = $('<input>',{name :'<%=data.name%>', type: "text"} );

myVAr.insertAfter("#thisDiv");

Make sure the data.name does not have a ' inside it as it will break the javascript string.

And then make sure that the jquery code is executed after the page has loaded

var myVAr = '<%=data.name%>';
$(function(){
  $(myVAr).insertAfter("#thisDiv");
});

If the data.name does not represent valid html code, and you just want the data.name to be inserted as text after the #thisDiv then make a tag with jquery which holds the data.name

var myVAr = '<%=data.name%>';
$(function(){
  $('<span>',{text:myVAr}).insertAfter("#thisDiv");
});
