I'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:
how does document.write interpret "" and '' (double quotes and single quotes).what is the significance of &Url (does it signify the current url) colon : is it represented as %3A ? and backslash represented as %2F ?
<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.
I am having problem to display variable that contains single quotes in its value(res= "msg='error'")value in javascript.I am geting only "msg= " in display.But if i open the jsp code there i got "msg='error' " Any one who know what is the problem please let me know.
I know that using <a href="javascript:"> and <sometag onclick=""> is evil, but in this particular situation it is quite hard to avoid it due to external powers Anyway here is the issue itself : putting javascript strings inside HTML attributes :
Code:
<button onclick="DoSomething('string')">
Everything is fine until there are single or double quotes INSIDE the 'string' value. Having a double quote inside the string, even JS escaped leads to the onclick argument value being cut :
Code:
<button onclick="DoSomething('str"ing')">
If you replace the double quote by '"' then you don't get a double quote inside DoSomething (you could always replace " by " in JS).
Similar problem if you choose to enclose the onclick argument in single quotes and happen to have a single quote JS escaped inside the string.So, is there any other way of dealing with potential presence of single AND double quotes in the 'string' value, other than replacing them before by ' and " and then replacing them back inside DoSomething ?
I have a long paragraph which contains almost 2000 words.I want to extract all those words or group of words which are in single quote e.g.In the below sentence, I want to extract 1. is 2. important and 3. topic.This 'is' very 'important' 'topic' to discuss.Any body have any idea how to do this in javascript.

I 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.
function ReplaceQuotes(val) { myFieldValue = val myFieldValue = myFieldValue.replace(/'/g,"") myFieldValue = myFieldValue.replace(/"/g,"") alert(myFieldValue) }
I'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".
I'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?
I'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. I tried removing all the quotes, and the "" method as I would with a perl script, (and MANY other attempts) but no go. Here is where I'm at right now.
I 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
The page is JSP search page.After submitting the page appears with all the results since it is a search page How can I retain the value as it is when the value is entered in quotes.
I'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];
I need a script that will append quotation marks "some text" around certain fields in a form when the post button is pressed. The form data will be used to populate a CSV type database and we can't include any commas in the fields.
I'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?
I 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.
I 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
