passing arguments to javascript function from code-behind , error

in code behind :

    string func = "showSuccessMessage(开发者_运维百科"+name+");";
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "success", func, true);

in a js file :

   function showSuccessMessage(user)
   {
        $("#box").dialog({
            title:"User Registration",
            html: user.toString() + " Successfully Registered", 
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                   Ok: function () {
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                    var s = "../Pages/main.aspx";                
                    window.location = s;
                   }
        }
   });
 } // end function 

when i try to pass the func string with no arguments every thing works out fine

when i try to append the argument into the function string i get an error from the browser

Uncaught ReferenceError: john is not defined

(john being the value of name) now i'm guessing the problem occurs because the way the function is registered it can't distinguish between a the variable and the value , so it is a non-defined type john

so the question stands :

how does one send arguments to a javascript function from code-behind

thanks in advance eran.

btw similar question : showing something similar to what iv'e attempted

The way you are writing it, it's like passing in john as a variable, not a string. It's like invoking

showSuccessMessage(john); // what you're doing in js
showSuccessMessage('john'); // what you need

Correct that with

string func = "showSuccessMessage('"+name+"');";
