Question

I have the following code:

print "<TR><TD>".$data->pass_name."</TD><TD><span id='credit'>".$data->credit_left."</span></TD><TD><input type='button' value='- 1' onclick='removeOneCredit(pass_id\=".$data->pass_id."&credit_left\=".$data->credit_left.");'></TD></TR>\n";

where I am trying to escape the equal so it gets passed in the function as it need to be a query in the url (the rendered code will be like this:

<input type='button' value='- 1' onclick='removeOneCredit(pass_id\=5&credit_left\=2");'>

But I keep getting errors that the \ that I use to escape my = is invalid. How would I escape my = so it can be passed into the argument of my js function?

Thank you

You don’t need to escape the =, what you need to do is quote the string.

print "<TR><TD>".$data->pass_name."</TD><TD><span id='credit'>".$data->credit_left."</span></TD>
       <TD><input type='button' value='- 1' onclick='removeOneCredit(\"pass_id=".$data->pass_id."&credit_left=".$data->credit_left."\");'></TD></TR>\n";
