question backslash escape key \"

[Gasolene]

question about the backslash escape key...


var url = "javascript:getPage(\"eventlist.php?mo=" + mo + "&count=" + count + "&\"" + ", 450, 350);";

url returns this...

javascript:getPage("eventlist.php?mo=6&count=14&", 450, 350);

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

var url = "javascript:getPage(\'eventlist.php?mo=" + mo + "&count=" + count + "&\'" + ", 450, 350);";

url returns this...

javascript:getPage(


------------
WHY???

the only difference is the \" is replaced with a \'


I want this (same as top but with single ' instead of double "

javascript:getPage('eventlist.php?mo=6&count=14&', 450, 350);

You don't need to escape single quotes if you use double quotes for containing the string (and vice versa) so you can do this:

var url = "javascript:getPage('eventlist.php?mo=" + mo + "&count=" + count + "&'" + ", 450, 350);";
