Escpaing Quotes and Single Quotes

[kazisdaman3]

Thanks for taking the time to help me, I'm trying to use a function with characters, but they mess up the function because of all the special characters in it. for example:

var map_cords = +44° 35' 19.82", -123° 15' 23.07" (44.588840, -123.256409;

---------------------

How would I put this in a onClick event like?

onClick="function('test',$map_cords);"

---------------

Because I have "'s 's and ,'s it totally messes the whole thing up? any ideas, I assume I have to escape but I'm totally confused!

[phranque]

put single or double quotes around the whole string.
within the string, escape the single and double quotes with backslashes.
don't worry about the commas - they are hidden by the quotes and aren't very special.

something like this should work (adding a closing paren i assume you missed):

var map_cords = '+44° 35\' 19.82\", -123° 15\' 23.07\" (44.588840, -123.256409)';
