I'm trying to write ajax functions that handle all of the 'smarts' on the
server-side and just use a simple eval() wrapper function to process the
results.  The problem that I'm running into is one of nested "s and 's.

For example, I'm trying to return:
<cfset returnUI = "$('" & curSection & "').innerHTML = """ &
javaScriptContent & """;">

The problem is, that javaScriptContents contains things like:
                   onClick='
                       processEvent(
                           {
                               status:\""Searching...\"",
                               event:\""pdtSearchResults\"",
                               sections:\""ppLeftContent\"",
                               dataOne:
document.customCatForm.pdtSearch.value
                           }
                       );
                   '

(Remember: ColdFusion will change those ""s to "s before sending the \" to
javascript.)

This works just fine if I call it via <cfinvoke> but since ajax also encodes
the "s and 's, what I end up with client-side looks something like:
_512_1172850456718 = "$(\'ppLeftContent\').innerHTML = \"<td
align=\'center\'><img
src=\'http://www.blahblah.com/QuorumPromo/Common/Images/Selections/Q_PC_Tahoe_1.jpg\'<http://www.blahblah.com/QuorumPromo/Common/Images/Selections/Q_PC_Tahoe_1.jpg%5C%27>><br>1000-1-6<br>Single
Story/Font Door Chime Kit<br><input type=\'button\'
onClick=\\\"doPkgAddPdt(\'1000-1-6\');\\\" value=\'Add to Package\'></td>";

Needless to say, eval() doesn't like this one bit.  Is there a workaround
that doesn't involve using a 'special string' for my "s and replacing it
client-side before the eval()?

This is the last piece to my little engine that can, any assistance to get
this bit working would
be very appreciated.
