I believe there is a JSStringFormat() function that escapes characters in a string for use in JavaScript.

Like - "Woman's" and "it's" and all sorts of words. Problem is it is creating an issue with my javascript event - which is onMouseOver="tip.show('#Trim(LinkDesc)#')" Do I need to do a replace function each time? Or do I have to run a filter on all existing fields and re-insert the info with a PreserveSingleQuotes? It throws cf errors on page rendered - it explains a mystery - "Expected )" issue. Also - it prevents any tip's from showing that have a single quote. I tested it to be sure this was the problem and in the mouseover - temporarily changed it to urlencodedformat and it fixed all issues.. but obviously for readability -that's not a solution. What's the best, quickest and easiest way to go here? Advice? I tried a few things but nothing worked for me 100% or was effective (not spaghetti) thanks! jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
