how to handle single quotes

[Marivic]

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to javascript. Just started to learn today. I'm having an error due to this single quotes. The string I'm passing contains single quotes. What I wanted is to have it 'escaped' so that it will pass the same value. I wanted to retain its original value.

For example, my string contains MEN'S SHOES. I understand that this should be passed as MEN\'S SHOES. But my string is in a variable. I now can get the location of the (') using indexof. The problem is how to insert the backslash.

Please help me.

If it's in a variable why do you need to re-escape it? But if you need to split strings up you can use "string".substring(from, to) to get a section of a string.

indexof "'"

double single double ?
