add slash in javascript

[Anon]

1. is there any javascript function which can
   add slash to the special character like
   in php using addslashes() ? \' / and \" is
   not allowed to pass as parameter while
   can a function in javascript.

2. how to check uploading file size using
   javascript ?

thanks for your answer.

I can't think of something that's the exact same as that (you could make one yourself, though).

A similar function is escape() which is like urlencode(). You could use that to make it transferrable in a URL or something...

Dave,

I think you are a bit confused about what
i asked, let me provide an example :

<?php $NAME = "Mickey'" ?>

<a href="#" onClick="DisplayMyName('<? echo $Name ?>')">

<Script language=javascript>

function DisplayMyName(myName)

alert(myName);

}
</script>

When i click the link , it product me an
error, why ? bcos the parameter contains
three single quotes. The problem happen
again if we put back slash.

I would like to know is there any javascript
to addslash to these special character.

thanks for your answer

I think there is no built-in function. Someone already had the same wish than us and wrote a script to do that.
