extended characters

writing them out

[imaputz]

can't seem to find a answer to this or figure it out.

what's the proper way of using extended characters in JS?

ex:

var currentPath = docPath + " » " + document.title;

so when I use the var I really get the double greater than sign.

thx.

The extended characters are HTML so you will only get them to display as the result of an operation like document.write(), or such. You can store the string that represents an extended character as a JavaScript variable, but it will have to go through the HTML interpreter before it renders.

ok, thx. I was using nodeValue to write out the var. I switched to innerHTML and it works.

Or, you can just put the right angle quote (French style) directly in the JS.

var currentPath = docPath + " » " + document.title;
