This is basic programming... If your string is wrapped in single-quotes, and the content of your string contains single-quotes, you have to escape them: $data = 'Hey welcome to webpage, \'Enjoy\'';
or you can use double-quotes to wrap the string: $data = "Hey welcome to webpage, 'Enjoy'"; On Mar 24, 11:18 am, Ramyak <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Need help. > > I want to dynamically update the contents of my div tag. > > Therefore I used jquery and the code is as follows > > $data= 'welcome to this page'; > $("#element1").html($data); > > This code works perfectly fine for simple data. > > But for complex data say, $data = 'Hey welcome to webpage, 'Enjoy''; > > $("#element1").html($data); doesnt work because the javascript fails. > > Is there any jquery plugin that checks to see if the content in $data > is > valid. > > Thank you, > Ramya
