Invalid Character Error

[Mighty]

Guys,

I have the following line in a JS function. I know that the problem has something to do with all the single and double quotes but I have no idea what it is and it's doing my head in. Here is the code:

strHTML='<TD ALIGN = &quot;CENTER&quot;><INPUT TYPE = &quot;TEXT&quot; SIZE=&quot;10&quot; NAME = &quot;' + CreateField(&quot;DueDate&quot + '&quot; VALUE = &quot;&quot; onFocus=&quot;this.blur();javascript:show_calendar(\'ProdForm.' + CreateField(&quot;DueDate&quot + ''\);&quot;></TD></TR>';
Mise Le Meas,

\' is illegal
\&quot; is not

Can I not have single quotes within single quotes??

iza,

Can you please do me a favour and have a look at another post that where you gave advice to Nickster. I followed your advice but have a little problem. The thread is: &quot;Using JS to generate Form inputs&quot;.

Thanks in advance.

Mise Le Meas,

Mighty

If you initialize the string with double quotes then when ever inside the string (ie not broken out of it to call functions or variables) use the escape code to produces double-quotes in your string.
ie
strHTML = &quot;<TD ALIGN=\&quot;CENTER\&quot;><INPUT TYPE=\&quot;TEXT\&quot; SIZE=\&quot;10\&quot; NAME=\&quot;&quot; + CreateField(&quot;DueDate&quot + &quot;\&quot; VALUE = \&quot;\&quot; onFocus=\&quot;this.blur(); javascript:show_calender(\&quot;ProdForm.&quot; + CreateField(&quot;DueDate&quot + &quot;\&quot;\&quot;></TD></TR>&quot;;
