I’m working on an application that requires a text field to fade in with the value being loaded by AJAX. (I’m doing this all with jQuery), here’s the code:

$('div#p'+eId+'_content').html('<input class='editPost' type='text' value=''                                + oldCont                                + '' id='p'                                + eId                                 + '_editBox' />');

Unfortunatly, oldCont can contain single quotes, which means the textbox will only contain oldPost up until that single quote. How could I display oldCont without having that problem, but still retaining that single quote (without the \ from escaping it)?

  1. $('div#p'+eId+'_content')   .append( $('<input type='text' id='p'+eId+'_editBox' />')            .addClass('editPost').val(oldCont));

    …I think those parens line up ….. 🙂

    basically, use the val function on a jquery object and it’ll take care of the escaping for you. Similarly you can use the addClass, attr, etc. functions for other pieces of your html objects
