Escaping javascript variable double quotes

Question

I'm using Ajax calls to get some variables data from the DB. some of my data stored on the database contains double quotes (").

when I'm trying to display the variable :

value="'+ucontent+'"

the string gets cut in the middle (of course)

I have tried using escape() but im getting a non readable result - something with %4%2 etc...

how can i escape the double quotes in the variable and still keep a readable string... BTW - I'm using UTF8 characters.

Answer 1

Depends on what language in server side you are using.

If it is php, then use json_encode to encode the response string.

If it is ruby(rails), then use escape_javascript to escape the response string.

Answer 2

decodeURIComponent() 

might be helpful

what escape actually does is replace some characters with a hexadecimal escape sequence. That is the reason why you are getting unreadable string like %4%2.

你可以用\\" ，如果你不使用的编码器。参见本 。
