Question

I have following html (html may be vary) in php variable. I have used append function (jQuery) for adding this html but always fail…… (due to not properly formated html). I’ve tried htmlentities,html_entity_decode and htmlspecialchars function for formating html but not success…. 🙁 Any-buddy know how to escaped this html. (either by PHP or jquery and how???? appreciate for your answer)

<tr>
    <td class='paramlist_key'>
        <label id='ID' for='FOR' class='CLASS'>*AT</label>
    </td>
    <td class='CLASS_A'>
        <select id="19" name="Name" class="cc" title="" style="" size="">
            <option value="" >Select below</option>
            <option value="A" selected="selected">A</option>
            <option value="B">B</option>
        </select>
        <span id="mm" style="display:none;">&nbsp;</span>
    </td>
</tr>

You need to convert the HTML to a valid JavaScript string, which means it has to be 1 line and all “-quotes or ‘-quotes must be escaped, depending on which your outer style will be in the final JS. So something like:

$html = str_replace("\n", "\\n", $html);
$html = str_replace('"', '\"', $html);

Or even easier, just json_encode() it and omit the quotes in the JS script itself as json_encode() will add those.
