Topic awaiting preservation: triple quotes (Page 1 of 1)

what can i do if i have more than two quotes in a statement. i only have two available: " and '

example with recursion:
<a href="#" onmouseover="javascript:document.write('<a href="heres the problem">')">

\' or \"

sorry, doesnt work.
i also looked it up in O'Reillys reference, but there is no solution too.

Try this:

<a href="#" onmouseover='javascript:document.write("<a href=\"heres the problem\">")'>blah</a>

or this:

<a href="#" onmouseover="javascript:document.write('<a href=\'heres the problem\'>')">blah</a>

. . : slicePuzzle

Use the second one; single quotes are allowed in Javascript but not HTML. IE lets them work in HTML but all browsers don't have to.

Also, remove the "javascript:"; that's only for use in URLs, for instance, when you're putting it in the href="" attribute.

nope, didnt work.
arent we inside html then again? so ' wouldnt be acceptet.

heres another example with recursion:
<a href="#" onclick="return myfunction('return myfunction(\'bla bla\')')">


edit: IT WORKS NOW! sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the help people.
it was my mistake with some php scripting. i am now using \\\\\' (yes, that's 5 \) to make that. hehe
