• javascript
• asp-mvc

• This code should work properly. – LukLed Commented Feb 26, 2010 at 5:00
• This looks fine, are you getting some error or is tenmp empty? – DavGarcia Commented Feb 26, 2010 at 5:16
• The code looks good. Have you checked the HTML source to see if the value is embedded? Could you provide more details on the problem? Is it because you have a typo on your 'tenmp' var? – David Glenn Commented Feb 26, 2010 at 8:52

I've just tried the same as you and it works fine.

<script language="javascript">
    var a = '<%=Model.userName %>';

    alert(a);
</script>

In my controller I have the following;

public ActionResult Login()
{
    LoginFormViewModel loginFVM = new LoginFormViewModel();
    loginFVM.userName = "slappy";

    return View(loginFVM);
}

All the above assumes that you are trying to get a model value into javascript from your view.

Also, ensure that your view is inheriting from your model else it'd have no idea what temp is.

Hope this is of help.

You don't need to write, use <% in controllers.

You would probably be using it in aspx/ ascx pages, something like

<input type="hidden" class="pnum" value="<%=PageNum%>" />

if you are using in aspx or ascx page then directly use

<% var tenmp= Model.Temp; %>
