Dylan,

Would using JSStringFormat <http://cfquickdocs.com/?getDoc=JSStringFormat> help?

Cheers,
Chris

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.
