Hey guys,
I need a JavaScript escape function. Let's say I have a variable, and
I'm generating some JavaScript from Cheetah:
var s = "$s";
I need to make $s safe:
var s = "$javascript_safe($s)";
Has anyone coded this yet? Will the same function work for both
single and double quoted strings? Can I steal some code?
Thanks :-D

Nevow has liveevil.jquote(), which I believe does what you want. It is
strikingly simple and straightforward:
def jquote(jscript):
return jscript.replace('\\', '\\\\'
).replace("'", "\\'"
).replace('\n', '\\n')
I wonder if it isn't buggy somehow :) I don't know javascript well enough
myself to say either way.
Jp
