I don't really understand if your problem is in velocity or pure javascript ? Anyway, in pure javascript you would just have to escape the single and double quotes, something like the following (I did not test it, just found it by googling) : var escapedString = inputValue.replace(/([\\"'])/g, "\\$1").replace(/\0/g, "\\0"); BR, Jeremie 2012/6/11 <[email protected]>:

Hello everybody,

I've a simple problem. I've a text input where people can enter some text. After, I want to send that text as a param to a javascript function. However, when user types a quote (simple or double), there is a problem in my javascript syntax. I've tred to add backslash but no effect.

Thanks for your help.

I've often used $escapetool.javascript($request.param) maybe that helps? paul Le 11 juin 2012 à 14:43, <[email protected]> a écrit :

Actually... is there a list of such predefined variables? Or... what's the way to list them? With their class.

You mean http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Module#HVeloci... ? Hope this helps, Marius

Thank you for your response. I have already used the escapetool but he doesn't seem work : this tool adds one backslash before the quote but the script looks wrong. (onclick="function(\"param\",callback);" doesn't work)

What's that supposed to do? It doesn't look like semantically correct Javascript in the first place, regardless of quote escaping. Is "function" here a placeholder for a real function name, or is it really used like this in your code? You shouldn't use onclick, try this instead: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/observe

I've read this page : http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowCanIescapeOutQuotationMarksFromAS... But whithout success ...
