Hi. I'm using prototype for my ajax routines. I'm returning a json object from the server containing user information. Some of the information contains user descriptions with quotes and other weird characters that need to be escaped.
for example 'I'm going to the store, don't 'cha know?' is stored in my db as 'I\'m going to the store, don\'t \'cha know?' but when I get my json object back from the server, I need to eval() it. This strips the slashes. I tried prototype's built in json parser next (evalJSON();) with the same results. Is there any way to preserve my escape characters and use json for data structuring?? I am aware that javascript has find/replace functions, but trusting the escaping of problem characters to the browser doesn't appeal to me. I want to escape the data on the server. also, this needs to work for single or double quotes, as these are user input and I want it to work regardless of the data. thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
