Hello All,

I have a html form in which I have a textbox on the event onFocus on that textbox, a new window pops up with some hyperlinks. on clicking anyone hyperlink, that data will be go into the textbox.

I have written the following code for the hyperlinks for the onclick event of anchor tag its

onclick="opener.document.formname.textboxname.value='American Type Culture Collection'; return false;"

See view source for the code for this hyperlink


" American Type Culture Collection "

This works fine with all data, but if the data contains a single quote then I have a problem, it gives an error, how can I handle this??

I hope I am clear with my question!!!

Thanks,

Sarada.

for this problem you can surely use a "" infront of the single quote.
This problem can occur with other special chars too like & > < # + , for those too use "".

first of all use self.opener instead of opener.



use double quotes when giving something a string value


object.value="bla bla";



or use escape charecter ('\') for these kind of things.

In the above funtion ChangeQuotes u escape the single quotes by back slash




or directly use like this


onclick="opener.document.formname.textboxname.value='American Type \' Culture Collection'; return false;"

Use ChangeQuotes function to append the single quotes
and assign the value to the text box




function changequotes(fielname)
{
    var value=fielname.value;      
    len=value.length

    var name1="";
    for(var i=0; i    {
     if(value.charAt(i)=="'")
      	name1=name1+"''"
     else
        name1=name1+value.charAt(i);
    }   
    fielname.value= name1
}
