Question

Can anyone help me to convert this to proper JavaScript?

<script>var datePostForAll = &#39;<div class='date-header'><data:post.dateHeader/></div>&#39;;</script>

Thank you!

Answer 1

It is proper JavaScript. It’s the same as writing:

<script>
   var datePostForAll = "<div class='date-header'><data:post.dateHeader/></div>";
</script>

They’re used ' instead of an apostrophe so they don’t have to escape ' and " marks inside the string. The <data:post.dateHeader/> is custom Blogger markup and will be evaluated when it is run. Because the contents of <data:post.dateHeader/> may include quote marks, they chose to wrap the string in ' to prevent accidentally introducing unescaped elements into the string. Regardless, as this will be outputting a date, wrapping it in quotes should be fine.
