在jQuery中从姓氏中转义单引号

Question

I have ajax call in my jQuery code with which I am doing lookup with C# web method.

The call works normally most of the time, the user needs to enter last name and it will get all the results for that last name.

The problem happens when user will enter last name with single quote included such as O'leary .

This is the jQuery line I am using:

   data: "{selectedAgent: '" + $('#<%=txtAgentNameText.ClientID %>').val() + "', 
   companyID: '" + $('#<%=ddlCompany.ClientID %>').val() + "'}",

The problem happens with the txtAgentNameText.ClientID value.

Answer 1

It looks like you are passing a JSON string to your jQuery ajax method. Why not just pass a javascript object?

var data = {
            selectedAgent:$('#<%=txtAgentNameText.ClientID %>').val(),
            companyID: $('#<%=ddlCompany.ClientID %>').val()
           };

$.ajax({...data:data...})

Answer 2

Okay so the escape character is \ so you could replace \' or you could change your format so the last name is contained in double quotes! Both ways should suffice
