My scenario involves a user who wishes to enter \' in an html input field.
I must then convert that to a javascript variable (for any number of
reasons).
However, when I attempt to escape backslashes then attempt to escape
apostrophes, I end up with a javascript error: Unterminated string constant.
I can see the source on my page has the javascript variable something like:
var name = '\\''.
What are the correct steps to correctly escape data such as \' or any number
of backslashes or apostrophes.
Thanks,
Derrick
