i want pass html tags javscript function , display using alert box..how do ??

you'll need encode html tags.

> becomes >
< becomes <
" becomes "

you'll need encode javascript.

' becomes \'

then use single quotes quote javascript (so double quotes don't close onclick attribute prematurely):

string test = "displaynext('" + encodedhtml + "')"; string nextlink = "<br /><a href="#" onclick=\"" + test + "\"> next</a>";
