correct format of string

[project3]

I am trying to get the correct format of a string

a.innerHTML='<input type="text" name="o_item[]" value="">';

that works fine but i need to add a string in there

I thought it was like this

a.innerHTML='<input type="text" name="o_item[]" value="' + var + '">';

any help would be appreciated.

var is a reserved word, so you can't use it for a variable name.

And theres another problem besides the [tt][maroon]var[/maroon][/tt] variable, the char-escaping.

[tt]a.innerHTML='<input type="text" name="o_item[]" value=[red]"[/red]' + var + '[red]"[/red]>';[/tt]

Any single doublequotes must be escaped.

var str = 'word"word'; [green]// Not correct[/green]
var str = 'word"word"word'; [green]// Correct[/green]

The proper code should be like:

a.innerHTML='<input type="text" name="o_item[]" value=[olive]\[/olive]"' + my_string + '[olive]\[/olive]">';

No, Lowet, that part was fine. You only have to escape quotes when they're inside the same kind of quotes. Your examples are completely wrong, too.
