I wonder on RoR, will there be a need sometimes to pass some data from Ruby to Javascript?
1) var title = ______________ ; What is the proper way to do it (fill in the code for ______________ ) if title can have newline character, or single / double quote or any weird character. and what's more, what if the title from database can have <script> tags, so the code need to do cross-site scripting (xss) prevention, say, if the title needs to be set into a div's innerHTML later. 2) further more, what if we do <a href="#" onclick="changeIt(______________); return false;">Click me</a> This case is more complicated, since I think there is a rule that says, anything inside the attribute's value will first be parsed by the browser as HTML first, so this is a little trickier than case (1). Any standard way in Rails to do it?
