dumb JS ?

[russbellon]

does java script have an escape character?
for example, say i want to pass a string that contains O'brian

[freddydoesphp]

Did you try O\'brien? That should work or just enclose the string in double quotes

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
var str = 'Hello Mr O\'Brien';
document.write(str);
//-->
</script>

or

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
var str = "Hello Mr O'Brien";
document.write(str);
//-->
</script>
