Passing variable with single quote in javascript

Question

I have an onClick call on a link:

 //this is working good

The problem is the variable insid

Answer 1

You can escape the quote with a backslash..

fomateName('Andrew D\'souza');

This should work anyway:

var name = "Andrew D'souza";
fomateName(name);

Answer 2

Try:

<a onClick="fomateName('Andrew D\'souza')"> <!-- this will work -->

\ use backslashes to escape '

Lets say if you have function like this =>

function fomateName(txt){
    alert(txt);
}

and invoking it from anchor =>

<a onClick="fomateName('Andrew D\'souza')"> <!-- this will alert "Andrew D'souza" -->

Answer 3

Escape the quote with backslashes.

<a onClick="fomateName('Andrew D\'souza')">
//this is not working ,because present of single quote

Answer 4

You can use escape character

<a onclick="formateName('AdrewD\'souza')">

Answer 5

Try this. Use backslash - It will escape the quote breaks

<a onClick="fomateName('Andrew D\'souza')"> 

Answer 6

You can wrap it in double quotes like so:

   <a onClick="fomateName("Andrew D'souza")"> //this is not working ,because present of single quote

Never mind, just realized it already has double quotes, yeah use backslash for escape like so:

  <a onClick="fomateName('Andrew D\'souza')">
