How to send a javascript response from server without escaping characters in Laravel

Question

Hi i am using CKEditor in my laravel application . i am browsing my computer and upload images to server .

using this code

CKEDITOR.replace( 'messageArea',{
    filebrowserUploadUrl: '/newseditor/imageupload'
});

after i submit the image i need to send the response back to my html page .i am doing it like this

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction($funcNum, '$url', '$message');</script>" ;

but it is not executing it as a javascript function . in my source i can see it as

"<script type='text\/javascript'>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction(204, 'test\/test', '');<\/script>"

so the special characters are escaped :( . I tried to use

htmlspecialchars_decode
htmlspecialchars_encode
json_decode
json_encode

but still i cannot trigger it as a js function , is there anyway i can achieve this .

Thank you ...

UPDATE

this is the tutorial i am following

Answer 1

Unsure if your using blade,

but in the event you are using it the syntax for not escaping out characters is {!! $name !!}

I'd also try var_dump to insure the problem isn't in the ckeditor formatting.

Config settings for disabling ckeditor html formatting:

config.htmlEncodeOutput = false;
config.entities = false;

Actually i was not able to pass JS from the server . so i did a simple work around using jQuery . I will catch the response using jQuery and manually add it to the URL field . Up to now this works as expected , hope this helps to anyone . thanks .

i am using the click event of image submit button .

$(document).on('click',".cke_dialog_ui_button",function() {

        var element = $(this).closest("tr").prev();
        element.find("iframe").hide();

        var checkExist = setInterval(function() {

           var url_container = element.find("iframe").contents().find("body pre");
           if ((typeof url_container != 'undefined') && (url_container.length > 0)) {

              var url = $.trim(url_container.html());
              url = url.replace(/[\\"]+/g,'');

              if(url.length > 0)
              {
                  url_container.html("");
                  $(".cke_dialog_page_contents:first").find("table tbody tr:first").find(":text").val(url);               
              }

              element.find("iframe").show();
              clearInterval(checkExist);

           }
        }, 200);

    });
