converting an HTML file to js

[fpl9250]

Hello,

I'm converting an html file into a .js by wrapping every line with

document.write('........');

but if it's a line of code that already has a single quote, then the whole line gets messed up.

Does anybody know how I can get around this issue?

Thank you.

put a backslash before the pre-existing single quote.

document.write('<input type=\'text\' />');

You can either escape the single quote in the text by putting a \ (backslash) before it, or just use double quotes on the document.write statement.

document.write('this was Harry\'s Book titled');

document.write("this was Harry's Book titled");

two questions :

1. Why are you moving an entire HTML file into JS ?
2. You may get better performance by building a JS String and then doing a single DOCUMENT.WRITE.

ggriffit,

Your option sounds interesting. Can you please explain more? The content that I'm converting to js will wrap my look-and-feel around third-party content. The third party content people do not want to host or maintain my "wrapper" and thus they just want to reference it by calling a js. Your options sounds good looking into, but I need more info.

Thanks as well to the other two posts. That'll help a lot.

if it is purely a look and feel that you are trying to use why not apply a CSS StyleSheet to the content ?

No it's more than that. It's the whole branding. Logo, menu, footer. The whole works. It will look like if you are in our site, but you are really not.

Do you have some info about that js string?

Thanks
