[Resolved] How can I echo javascript?

[sgtpepper]

Hello all,

I am trying to get a javascript rollover to work. Basically, I need to echo the following

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/preview/2.jpg" target="_blank" onMouseOver="changeImages('image2', 'image2on', 'otherImage', 'otherImage2')" onMouseOut="changeImages('image2', 'image2off', 'otherImage', 'otherImageDefault')"><img name="image2" src="http://www.mydomain.net/propimages/$first_part_of_photo/$second_part_of_photo/$row[Id]_3.jpg" alt border="0" width="104" height="66"></a>

But, the thing is...I need EXACTLY the above to be echo'ed out...or else the javascript breaks.

How can I echo the above....keeping the " and ' in place? Is it even possible?

Of course its possible. Just escape the appropriate character with a \, e.g. '\'' or "\""

When you enclose the string with 's or "s, you have to escape any of those you want to be taken as a literal with a .

In your example, I am not seeing where you placed the \ ? Am I missing something?

They didn't show up when I posted it so I removed the example 🙂

If you enclose the string with single quotes, you have to escape all single quotes within that string with a . Or escape the double quotes if you enclose it with those.
