Apostrophe Issue

[y1k2h3]

Anybody can help mi on this, { ' } thing.
It's will display an IE error box whenever I refreshes.
Pls help !!


<td class="RowGrey" height="19"><a href="#" onClick="displayOnForm(
'dog&#39;s&#39;');"> - </a> </td>

onClick="displayOnForm(
'dog's'');"

That's likely the issue.
You should escape the single quotes you want displayed--
'dog\'s'

(What's the second single quote doing at the end of that?)

[y1k2h3]

sorry to bother again.
The contents within displayOnForm() is generated during runtime.
So how can I change from { 'dog's'', } --> { 'dog\'s\'', } by using the function changeApostrophe()??
Example like for the attribute = lastName

Thanks once again.



function changeApostrophe(text){
var newString = "";
for (var i = 0; text.indexOf("'") >= 0; i++) {
var index = text.indexOf("'");
var firstHalf = text.substring(0, index);
newString = newString + firstHalf + "&#39;";
text = text.substring(firstHalf.length + 1, text.length);
}
newString += text;
return newString;
}

str = str.replace(/'/g, "\\'");

I don't think this is what you're looking for, though. I think you want to be able to pass in an apostrophe-delimited string value containing apostrophes, then convert it. You can't do this, since as soon as it's seen it'll throw a parse error.

What's this <cc:> namespace? I'm pretty sure that's not valid HTML. Is it parsed by the Javascript?

[y1k2h3]

I using a jsp instead of a html. and the cc is a modified tag name. Nothing special about it.

[Twey]

Ah, very well, so it'll be parsed into HTML by a server-side script.

Well, so long as the output doesn't contain any apostrophes, you should be fine. If it does, you'll have to replace them server-side.

[y1k2h3]

No good, I'm only allow to code on the presentation tier not the business 1.
Below is the output from the server, still got the "Expected )" error from IE.
Oh God!!!!


<td class="RowGrey" height="19"><a href="#" onClick="displayOnForm(

There are still apostrophes there. There's one alternative left, but it's quite ugly:

<td class="<cc:altColor/>" height="19"><a href="#" onClick="displayOnForm(
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='rowNo'/>&quot;,&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='salutationId'> - <cc:staticModelItemAttribute modelalias='cc.salutation'/></cc:corpItemAttribute>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='industryId'> - <cc:staticModelItemAttribute modelalias='cc.industry'/></cc:corpItemAttribute>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='lastName'/>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='personnelId'> - <cc:staticModelItemAttribute modelalias='cc.personnel'/></cc:corpItemAttribute>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='firstName'/>&quot;,&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='middleName'/>&quot;,
'<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='officeNo'/>&quot;,&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='faxNo'/>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='mobtelNo'/>&quot;,&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='email'/>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='homeNo'/>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='createUserId'> - <cc:staticModelItemAttribute modelalias='cc.userid'/></cc:corpItemAttribute>&quot;,
&quot;<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='createDateTime'/>&quot;);">
<cc:corpItemAttribute attribute='firstName'/></a>
</td>

I encounter javascript error when the a single input contains both quote and apostrophe. I tried to escape it using \" and &.#.3.9;for apostrophe &.q.u.o.t.;for quote. But no luck!!!





<input type='hidden' name='rowNoItemAttr' value=\"2 \">
<input type='hidden' name='salutationIdItemAttr' value=\"6 - ARCH"S \">
<input type='hidden' name='industryIdItemAttr' value=\" - "\>
<input type='hidden' name='lastNameItemAttr' value=\"Las't Name&quot; \">
<input type='hidden' name='personnelIdItemAttr' value=\"P2 - PERSONNEL 2 \">
<input type='hidden' name='firstNameItemAttr' value=\"Firs't Nam&quot;e \">
<input type='hidden' name='middleNameItemAttr' value=\"Mi'ddle Nam&quot;e \">
<input type='hidden' name='officeNoItemAttr' value=\"2123 \">
