I have a repeater control. Within it, I have a quoted HTML attribute that
contains a quotes javascript variable stsring which contains my asp.net tag.
To prevent nested quote issues, I have to write it like this:

<a href="javascript:;" onclick=<% response.write("""")
%>window.opener.document.getElementById('src').value='/slides/SM/<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "filename")
%>';javascript:window.close();<% response.write("""") %>><b>[sm]</b></a>

Is there a more elegant solution?

You can bind back a pointer to a method in the code behind and assemble the
JavaScript string there. The code behind will get a bit more extensive, but
it will be easy enough to feed the file name parameter and create the code
there. Your other option is to create a control that takes the file name and
outputs the proper JavaScript. you can then embed that control in the
Repeater.
