Unterminated string constant error in ASP.NET Razor page

Question

So I'm writing an ASP.NET MVC Web application and at the top of one of my razor pages i have this code:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        alert("@TempData["alertMessage"]");
    </script>

If I understand the error

Unterminated string constant

correctly, it means I haven't closed the quotation marks. But if I look at the code it should be closed correctly right?

What is wrong about it?

Answer 1

You should use single quotes in order to avoid the error .

alert('@TempData["alertMessage"]');

With the other words you should wrap the statement within single quotes .
