Hi,
I'm off to bed, but since you still haven't posted the JSON data your
server is returning, I'll tell you what I'm pretty sure is wrong.
Apologies for any lack of clarity, I'm rushing. I suspect your JSON
looks like this:
Example #1:
* * * *
{
"message": "This is a \'message\' with \"quo
I'm still not sure if I'm following you.
If the variable has been printed to the browser, then it should be printed
in a format that the browser understands (dom element). Dom elements do not
need escaping.
If the variable is still in variable form, then it does not need escaping.

Not an example of the string where you're using it, the _actual_ JSON
data being returned by your server. You can probably get this by
typing the URL of the server-side page into the browser directly, that
kind of thing.

I listed an actual example above.
user description as stored in mysql - 'I\'ll take you down to china
town'
when I parse the json object the slash is removed, so I print -
onclick="function('I'll take you down to china town')"
which throws an error.

It's not a JSON thing, it's something specific to what you're doing.
Can you give us an example of the actual JSON data you're returning
from the server?

Why are you printing the variable contents instead of using the variables
directly? Are you using javascript to print out the onmouseover text, or a
server-side language? Can you post some sample code? Thanks

for example, here's a user description: 'I'll take you down to china town'
I want to print onclick="function('I'll take you down to china town')"
or for rollovers
onmouseover="tool_tip('I'll take you down to china town', 100);"
both of those throw errors. obviously I need it to work for double
Maybe I'm not understanding your implementation, but why do the quotes have
to be escaped? If you are passing the data to a function, and is already in
the form of a variable, then you do not need to escape it. Can you give me
an example of a JSON response?

personally, I would consider this a serious drawback to using json - as
opposed to xml, which does not display this behavior. I'm really hoping
there's a workaround here, but I feel like I may drop prototype in favor of
a library that has better xml support.

I am passing the data as arguments to javascript functions (like
onclick="hopefully_escaped_data_from_server")
I also have rollover functions that take these descriptions as arguments.
Am I missing something???
thanks

Is there a reason you need the data to remain escaped while being used by
javascript? Unless your javascript is interacting directly with the
database, you should not need to keep your data escaped. Once javascript is
done with the data, and sends it back to the server, the server should then
