Question

In my program there is a variable name ‘quotes’ which takes an input string from an API call.
Program doesn’t work when the string has a single quote in it.

<script>
    var quotes = "Empty"
        if(user.quotes)
           quotes = user.quotes;    // get the string to 'quotes' variable
</script>

can any one please tell me how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Replace single quote (escape it like PHP):

<script>
    var quotes = "Empty"
        if(user.quotes)
           quotes = user.quotes.replace(/'/g,"\\\'");    // get the string to 'quotes' variable
</script>

Then wherever You use Your quotes, replace the “\'” back to “‘”.
