I also had an issue with multiline strings in this scenario. @Iman's backtick(`) solution worked great in the modern browsers but caused an invalid character error in Internet Explorer. I had to use the following:

'@item.MultiLineString.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />")'

Then I had to put the carriage returns back again in the js function. Had to use RegEx to handle multiple carriage returns.

// This will work for the following:
// "hello\nworld"
// "hello<br>world"
// "hello<br />world"
$("#MyTextArea").val(multiLineString.replace(/\n|<br\s*\/?>/gi, "\r"));

You should pass  item email in quotes then it will be treated as string argument    lt td gt  lt a href       onclick  Getinfo   item email      gt 6 16 2016 2 02 29 AM lt  a gt    lt  td gt    Otherwise  it is treated as variable thus error is generated

The accepted answer work when you have a single line string the email  but if you have a   multiline string  the error will remain   Please look into this matter    lt  -- start  definition-- gt         dynamic item   new System Dynamic ExpandoObject        item MultiLineString     a multi-line                              string       item SingleLineString    a single-line string      lt  -- end  definition-- gt   lt a href     onclick  Getinfo   item MultiLineString    gt 6 16 2016 2 02 29 AM lt  a gt   lt script gt      function Getinfo text            alert text          lt  script gt    Change the single-quote    to backtick    in Getinfo as bellow and error will be fixed    lt a href     onclick  Getinfo   item MultiLineString    gt 6 16 2016 2 02 29 AM lt  a gt
