Quotes in HTML

[LouisC4]

Is there such a thing as a triple quote?

Just kidding. I have a problem. Can someone please tell me how I can write the following?

onMouseover="ddrivetip('<tr><td class='style1'>Hello World</td></tr>')";

What kind of quotes can I use? The problem is the single quotes of class='style1' within the single quotes of ddrivetip(' ')

I would appreciate the help,

Louis

Try escaping the quotes in the javascript

onMouseover="ddrivetip('<tr><td class=\"style1\">Hello World</td></tr>')";

I have tried escaping the quotes but it does not work, the HTML doesn't like it. I wish there was triple quotes.

Thanks,

Louis

The way to escape quotes in HTML to do &quot;. The way to escape quotes in javascript is to add a slash in front of a quote that is the same as a quote that surrounds the string. So do either:

onMouseover="ddrivetip('<tr><td class=\'style1\'>Hello World</td></tr>')";

onMouseover="ddrivetip('<tr><td class=&quot;style1&quot;>Hello World</td></tr>')";

Vragabond, thanks for the information, but it still does not work, I don't know what else to try. I have also tried &amp;apos; and still does not work.

what else can I do??

What, precisely isn't working?

Could it be that the problem is something else? i.e. A problem with the javascript function you are calling?

To me it looks like you are calling some kind of tooltip script but then trying to create a table row and cell within it. I can't see how that would work since there is no surrounding table element.

This should really be in the Javascript forum, you know.
