I’m not sure if my question is relevant to my problem, since the syntax coloring is playing tricks on me

I want to append HTML to an element.

 <a href=\'http://www.google.com\'>link<\/a>

Assume it the the result of calling a helper – getLink

so when I do

var newelem = "<%= getLink %>"

I get " <a href=\'http://www.google.com\'>link<\/a>"
but starting from the // the rest of the line is colored green.. indicating that it is a comment?

Should I (and how) escape this double slash? is it a problem?

I added a picture to illustrate the coloring
