Passing a parameter to function with single quote

Question

How do I pass a parameter to a javascript function with \' included

var name =\"Lauren O\'Donald\";

var htmlAnch=\'

        

Answer 1

You can escape quotes/characters by prepending \ to it:

var string = 'my string with "double quotes" and \'single quotes\'';
var string = "my string with 'single quotes' and \"double quotes\"";
//                                               ^              ^

Using a dynamic string:

var foo = "bar with 'quotes'";
var string = 'my string with "double quotes" and ' + foo.replace(/'/g, "\\'");
//my string with "double quotes" and bar with \'quotes\'
