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

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    lt br   gt       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 lt br gt world      hello lt br   gt world      MyTextArea   val multiLineString replace   n  lt br s     gt  gi    r

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
