[CTJUG Forum] Re: Javascript quotes escape character within escape an escape character

[Pierre Mallinson]

Hi Ryan,   every " that you want to be in the string must have an escape character.   i.e. if you want ["ryan"s"] to be displayed you have to write new String("[\"ryan\"s\"]");   Hope it helps.   P >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/11/06 3:20 PM >>> Hi Guys.   I am making use of the _javascript_ "eval" method i send the method a String that looks like this: "["ryan"s"]"   the value is formatted with escape characters and then looks like this.   eval(new String("[\"ryan"s\"]"));   The problem that I have is that the value of the quote(") after the "n" of the word "ryan" is within quotes that contain escape characters.   So the question is what is the escape character for a quote in a string of a value that sits in between two quotes that already contain escape characters in _javascript_.   I hope my question makes sense.   Thank you all -- Regards, Ryan Meder "All views or opinions expressed in this electronic message and its attachments are the view of the sender and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the Provincial Government of the Western Cape ("the PGWC').
