Hi

I have an autocomplete Extender on a text that calls a web services to load the drop down list.

This works fine, but i need to get the actual Record ID associated with the selected text. I have changed my web service to pass back the record ID with the  text  and this works fine. 

The problem I having is with the Javascript to pull the selected record ID into a hidden field.  Most of the examples on the web have the following code which is linked into the autocompletextender via the onclientitemselected event.

<script type = "text/javascript">
    function ClientItemSelected(sender, e) {
      $get("<%=hfCustomerId.ClientID %>").value = e.get_value();
    }
</script>

 I'm using the following code to register the Above script  within MP:

 string initScript = @"function ClientItemSelected(sender, e ) {  $get(""<%=hfCustomerId.ClientID %>"").value = e.get_value();  }";

         Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page),
         "idDropDown", "\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" >"
         + initScript + "</script>");

the following is the code via 'view source' :

<script type="text/javascript" >function ClientItemSelected(sender, e ) {  $get("<%=hfCustomerId.ClientID %>").value = e.get_value();  }</script>

Basically I get the following error when i select a record in the autocomplete extender drop down. "Microsoft JScipt runtime error : Syntax error , unrecognized Expression : > "  in the jquery.min.js (dynamic) file

sorry i'm not a Javascript developer :(

Can anyone help  ?

Thanks
