Question

Hi I have a problem with a javascript string

var foo = \"<a href="javascript(foo('a','b'))">test</a>\"

This sentence gives me an error

I could have escaped inner ” but I am not allowed to change <a href="javascript(foo('a','b'))">test</a> this part

Is there any way to handle this condition?

Thanks,
Sourabh

Either escape the quotes within JavaScript:

var foo = "<a href=\"javascript(foo('a','b'))\">test</a>";
var foo = "<a href=\x22javascript(foo('a','b'))\x22>test</a>";
var foo = '<a href="javascript(foo(\'a\',\'b\'))">test</a>';
var foo = '<a href="javascript(foo(\x27a\x27,\x27b\x27))">test</a>';

Or escape the quotes within HTML:

var foo = '<a href="javascript(foo(&#39;a&#39;,&#39;b&#39;))">test</a>';
