Hi,

i am using PHP to fill in data into a javascript application. This is my code:

[CODE]RST.setup({
html:'<a href=”google.com”>Mary’s object</a> ‘;
});[/CODE]

The word Mary’s messes up the code. I can’t switch to ” because of the HTML. This can all be avoided if I add an escape character like this:

[CODE]RST.setup({
html:'<a href=”google.com”>Mary/’s object</a> ‘;
});[/CODE]

I import the HTML content from a third party API. is there a way to add the escape character automatically?

Thanks

@Declan1991Aug 17.2010 — You're second code is wrong too. You use a back-slash to escape a quote, not a forward slash.

You'll have to do this on the PHP side (presuming you are using something like this). As far as I know, this'll work, where $html is <a href="google.com">Mary's object</a>.RST.setup({
html:'&lt;?php echo str_replace("'","\'", $html);?&gt;
});
