Answer 1

+2 A:

If you have a HTML string in a variable, then you don't need to put it in quotes:

var varHtml = "<div id='foo'></div>";
$(varHtml);

This is the string which i am having varHtml = "<img title="Go Search" onmouseover="this.src='/Style%20Library/Images/sg_search_but.gif'" onmouseout="this.src='/Style%20Library/Images/sg_search_but.gif'" alt="Go Search" src="/Style%20Library/Images/sg_search_but.gif" border="0"></a>" if i add a double quote in forming the string all the attributes will cause a problem if i add a single quote in forming the string the onmouseover and onmouseout attribute will create trouble –

Answer 2

A:

Hi, javascript lacks something like an htmlencode to run client side. So you will have to use one of the script libraries. You can try this jQuery solution: http://www.edentity.ca/WhoWeAre/Blog/Easy-Client-Side-html-EncodeDecode-using-jQuery.aspx Or you could simply use a javascript string replace function like the one explained here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp. Replace ' with ' or the HTML code you prefer. Reference: http://www.degraeve.com/reference/specialcharacters.php
