Question

Supposed I have the following code:

<html:link onclick="jQuery('#add').data('name','${name}').dialog('open');" href="#">

And with this, if ${name} = a”b”c, problem occurs, link was not rendered well.
I have tried to escape the value, serialize but maybe my way is wrong.

Any suggestion how to do this? I have been searching, but i just cant find the answer.

Thanks all in advance.

You need to escape your quotes or take it out of the DOM (which I recommend) by putting a listener on it:

$('a').click(function(){
    $('#add').data('name','${name}').dialog('open');
});
