Looks ugly no matter what; but at least it can be made less verbose if you add a helper method in you page class (hopefully a common base class): protected string R(string policyResName) { //figure this code out :) return phrase; } And your script could be reduced to: if($F('<%= PolicyDescription.ClientID %>')== '<%=R("DescriptionNotFound")%>' ) { alert('<%=R("EnterValidPolicyNumberOrDescription") %>'); return; } http://ayende.com/2254/code-smell#comment1http://ayende.com/2254/code-smell#comment1Mon, 26 Mar 2007 18:00:24 GMT
