Escaping Double Quotes In Alert?
Mar 1, 2011I've got this bit of code that I've wrote and it was working absolutely fine like this:
function validatepostcode() {
var postcodevalue = document.getElementById("postcode").value;
if (postcodevalue.indexOf("S") == -1)
{
alert(postcodevalue + " is not a valid postcode.");
[Code]...
What I want to do is wrap the value of "postcodevalue" in double quotes, and since it's inside an alert, I used the escape sequence ", which is how it should be done as far as I know. But for some reason, Dreamweaver's giving me a syntax error warning and the code doesn't work. Am I using the double quotes wrong?

Single Quotes And '
Dec 14, 2007I'm having some problem trying to escape single quotes. basically, I got some text on the database. if text contains double or single quotes, these are replaced with " and ' respectively. I'm using PHP to alert a portion of the text, let's say "hello, y'all!", this way:
PHP Code:
<?php
echo '<script type="text/javascript">'
echo "alert('hello, y'all!');";
echo '</script>'
?>
well, the js code breaks, just as if ''' were converted to the 'single quote' character. how so?

SetTimeout() Syntax, Where Do Quotes Go
Apr 15, 2011I am just learning the basics and am trying to figure out timing with setTimeout()
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");
setTimeout("document.write('Hello There World');", 2000);
setTimeout("document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");", 2000);
</script>
the 1st document.write works and the 1st setTimeout() works, but then I add the fourth line and the page will not load.
Why does it not like my 4th line : "setTimeout("document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");", 2000);"?
Apostrophes And Quotes Issue
Dec 1, 2005I have major problems with quotes or apostropes copied from either a Word document or a web browser giving me box characters on my Cold Fusion MX 6.1 web pages using Access 2000 database after my Updates or Inserts.
I would like to get rid of the quotes and apostrophes on the client side using javascript.
The problem is how do I get the Microsoft quotes or apostrophe because it seems to be a different character than a regular quote or apostrophe.
Here is my attempt but it doesnt catch the "weird" Word or Browser quotes or apostrophes.

Single Quotes Error
Apr 2, 2007<script>
function view(text)
{
document.getElementById("textbox").innerHTML="<input type='text' value='"+text+"'>";
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="view('a ' " ')">click to view textbox</a>
<div id="textbox"></div>
this is an example of what im trying to do in a site. what this code does is when you click on hyperlink it shows a textbox in the div with text but single quote is causing problem and not letting it show the textbox even though i have escaped the single quote it will still not work double quote is working fine.
my guess is since i first send it to function and then function prints it so the escape i did is removed and it starts giving error and will not print textbox in the div. can anyone tell what should i add to escape and make it working i tested it in textarea its working there only it causes problem in textbox.
Use Replace() With Quotes IN The Arguments?
Sep 15, 2011I'm trying to replace an element's style on the fly like this
Code:
var sc = document.getElementById("someElement").innerHTML;
scorecard = sc.replace("class="thisclass"","style="width:"+width+"px;float:left;margin-top:"+topmargin+"px;"");
where width and topmargin are values that I calculated earlier.This works fine in all browsers except IE. The trouble, I'm quite sure, is with the escaped quotes " in the arguments of the replace() function.What this seems to be doing (in IE) is just just returning the same string sc, but with the quotes stripped off of "thisclass".
Replace Smart Quotes And Not HTML?
Jun 2, 2009I'm using this rich text editor. Whenever a user pastes rich text from a program like Microsoft Word, the program's smart quotes are not understood by the browser (they appear as a diamond with a question mark in it). I ran a php function on the post value to replace all quotes with ascii characters, but realized that it also replaces the quotes present in the html generated by the javascript.Is there a way to convert smart quotes to normal quotes without also tampering with the html content?

Dec 18, 2009I'm working on a javascript for a rollover menu that the client is regularly changing. I want to create a call to a remote "document write" script on each page so that when it changes I only have to modify it in the script rather than on every page of the site. The problem I am having is that I cannot figure out how to include the quotes needed to execute the rollovers without killing the script.

How To Retain Quotes In The Value After Submitting The Page
Feb 7, 2007I have a text box if a user enters a phrase he enters it within single(') or double quotes(").
If the properties for test box are like this
<input name="test" id="test" value = "<%=queryText"%>"> then
the text box value is blank after submitting the form and when sourcecode is checked the value is ""testing"".
if modified to <input name="test" id="test" value = <%=queryText"%>>
then the value is shown after submitting the form as testing without quotes

Rotating Quotes With Text Fading
Dec 10, 2007I've got a simple javascript that rotates quotes randomly. It's very basic, so I wanted to add a fade in/ fade out transition to the text to make it more appealing. I've researched around the net and have had trouble finding sources to help me out. Here is the code.
<script language="JavaScript">
function rotateEvery(sec)
{
var Quotation=new Array()
// QUOTATIONS
Quotation[0] = '...The big brown fox jumped over the tall fence'
Quotation[1] = '...The wind is blowing cold snow across the dark black road'
Quotation[2] = '...Fall has many colors and black is not one of them'
Quotation[3] = '...the blue bird lives in the big red barn'
Quotation[4] = '....Mr. Grant really believes that the Bull’s skills, which are widespread, are utterly godlike even though he acts like he doesn’t think so'
Quotation[5] = 'Sixth quotation'
Quotation[6] = 'You can add <b>as many</b> quotations <b>as you like</b>'
var which = Math.round(Math.random()*(Quotation.length - 1));
document.getElementById('textrotator').innerHTML = Quotation[which];
setTimeout('rotateEvery('+sec+')', sec*5500);

View 4 Replies View RelatedLibraries Or Functions To Escape Quotes, Tabs, Etc.
Jan 5, 2007I was wondering if there are any proper, robust libraries or
functions/methods that I don't know of that will escape all the
problematic characters such as single quotes and tabs.
I find myselfwriting x = x.replace(/'/g,"'"); and the reverse over and over again.
Shouldn't Javascript have a built in method to do this? I know of the
escape() function but I am not sure if this is more for urls. What is
the real world way of storing such an "escaped" variable in a database
that will later be read into a javascript variable? :-/
Maybe one could use escape() and unescape() in some way, but some
expert probably could answer this in a snap.
Search Function - Getting Double Quotes Into Coding
Nov 11, 2010I have completed the necessary function and it does not need any changes however from the "alert" I need there has to be double quotes surrounding the search 'Lboro'. (I know I may be making a meal of the coding however the lecturer wants us to follow this due to everyone being at different levels of programming). I have used the '' character however the double quotes do not end up in the position I require them?!
My Coding
function findAnyU (s){
var a = s , b , c , d , e = -1;
for (var i = 0 ; i < pages.length && e == -1 ; i++){
b = pages[i].indexOf('[');
c = pages[i].indexOf(']');
d = pages[i].substring(b+1, c).toLowerCase();
e = d.indexOf(s.toLowerCase());
}
if(e >= 1)
a += ' found'
else
a += ' not found'
return (a)
}
alert (findAnyU('Lboro' , pages));
Current Alert =
Lboro found

Problem With Double Quotes In Javascript Link
Feb 10, 2003I have the following PHP which passes a variable to two other frames:
PHP Code:
$name=addslahes($row['name']);
echo('<tr><td><a href="javascript:
void(parent.frameB.location=/'frameB.php?name='.$name.'&desc='.$desc.'/');
void(parent.frameC.location=/'frameC.php?name='.$name.'&number='.$number.'/');"> '.$row['name'].'</a></td></tr>');
(Note that I have put / in above where there is really a just so that it shows up in the post). The link works fine with normal characters in the variable $name, and it works with single quotes in the varable, but not double quotes (the addslashes() escapes single and double quotes with a backslash).
Why doesn't the link work with double quotes in the variable?

Address Element To Change Color (Value In Quotes)?
Jul 4, 2011I am trying to address an element to change the color with javascript but cannot get it to work. Here is the element, I am leaving out some of the closing tags but just want you to see use:
PHP Code:
<div class="nav" id="nav">
<div class="table">
<ul class="select"><li><a href="index.php"><b>Home</b></a></li></ul>
I want to change the color of the link "Home" with a color I am getting thru Ajax. Here is the code snippet:
PHP Code:var menuColorValue = http.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("menuColor")[0];
document.getElementById("nav").a.link.style.color = '"'+floatValue.childNodes[0].nodeValue+'"';
I know the floatValue.childNodes[0].nodeValue is correct and have tested that it holds the color as #000000. I added the quotes because the color value must be in quotes...
