How to display double quotes in JavaScript


On html page if I give name in double quotes then it is not getting reflected on page. It displays a blank string. I tried with escape() function but that didn't work. So what is the way to display a string in double quotes.

One thing I forgot to mention that I want to display the string in input text box.


Solution

  • Hello everyone thanks for suggestions. My issue has been solved now. I created one private method to which I passed my required parameters which contains double quotes in it. Here is the method.

     HTMLEncode:function(str){
                  var i = str.length,
                      aRet = [];
    
                  while (i--) {
                    var iC = str[i].charCodeAt();
                    if (iC < 65 || iC > 127 || (iC>90 && iC<97)) {
                      aRet[i] = '&#'+iC+';';
                    } else {
                      aRet[i] = str[i];
                    }
                   }
                  return aRet.join('');    
                },
    

    The above method will convert double quote into the required format to display it on web page. I referred one of the stackoverflow page for this. Thanks. Hope this will help others.
