Oops, sorry for the misinformation. You actually need to enclose the string in quotes, like so:
alert('<%=data%>')
Another problem is that the value returned by data may also contain quotes, which would confuse the browser. To get around this problem you must escape special characters, using the Server.JSEscape method:
alert('<%=Server.JSEscape(data)%>')

Thanks for your quick response that worked but I found a little problem if I am passing a value like "this is a test" I get a error it appears to be because of spaces in the text if it is continuious text it's ok I tried using alltrim but this made no difference. Thanks for your help

If you want to evaluate the expression data and display it in a JavaScript alert box, then you need to use the following syntax:
alert(<%=data%>)
