Question

Is there a way to use \"<%= someObject.ClientID %>\" in an external javascript file?

If I use the code

<%= someObject.ClientID %>

You could create an empty callback function in the external file:

var MyCallback = function () { };

And then in the asp/cx do something like:

MyCallback = function () {return "<%= someObject.ClientID %>";}

And then, back in your external file:

var myClientID = MyCallback();
