Escape single quotes in jQuery or JavaScript

Question

I want to display the following text for the tag. How do I escape the single quotes for the following?

$(\"#spn_err\").text($(\'#tx         


        

Answer 1

It is close. Use the .val() method:

$('#spn_err').text($('#txt1').val() + ' is not valid');

Answer 2

$("#spn_err").text("'" + $('#txt1').attr('value') + "' is not valid");

Answer 3

Like this:

$("#spn_err").text("'" + $('#txt1').val() + "' is not valid");

Inside double quotes, single quotes are normal characters and vice versa. Otherwise you can escape them by prepending a backslash: "\"" or '\''.

Answer 4

$("#spn_err").text('\'' + $("#txt1").attr("value") + '\' is not valid');
