字符串中的引号

Question

Good Day. I have an ajax function and return this:

<tr onClick="obtener_articulo('1960|X36-004|X36004|Cheque Horizontal de Bronce 200 WOG  de   1/4 " 125 Gramos|0||0|0|Unidad||0.000|0|0||noimage.png')"><td>X36-004</td><td>Cheque Horizontal de Bronce 200 WOG  de   1/4 " 125 Gramos</td></tr>

Using javascript i will add that value to a tabla (i can do that already). My problem is the character " beacuse javascript give this error: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal. I need the character " in that value. I am getting that value from database.

I tried to replace " with \" but did not work.

You'll want to update the server code producing the string to produce valid HTML.

The content of onclick attributes (like all attributes) is HTML text. People tend to forget that. :-) So if the quotes around the onclick attribute value are ", use " within the value for a ":

<tr onClick="obtener_articulo('1960|X36-004|X36004|Cheque Horizontal de Bronce 200 WOG  de   1/4 &quot; 125 Gramos|0||0|0|Unidad||0.000|0|0||noimage.png')"><td>X36-004</td><td>Cheque Horizontal de Bronce 200 WOG  de   1/4 &quot; 125 Gramos</td></tr>

It looks weird to see that in what looks like JavaScript code, but think about the layers involved: The parser reads the HTML, building up a string attribute value, interpreting entities along the way; then it passes that interpreted string to the JavaScript engine, which sees ".

Gratuitous live example:

<div onclick="alert(&quot;Hi there&quot;);">Click me</div>
<div onclick="alert('1/2 &quot;');">And me</div>

</div>
