How about using the form ?$.scriptname(#)$ (:no quotes) and inserting
the string in the form
esc(?"returned_string",?"\")
Basically the idea is:
with the original form ?$.scriptname("#")$, when inserting string take
care the delimiters too, I mean repalce "#", not just #, with
esc(?"returned_string",?"\")
Is this feasible?
