Question

 $(\"td#content\").html(LOTS_OF_HTML_CODE_HERE);


        

Answer 1

If quotes are breaking your code, try this...

$("td#content").html("<a href=\"http://www.example.com\">my link</a>");

The quotes are not being escaped. Just add a backslash before any quotes, double or single within your HTML code. That should do it. ;)
