Im making a STRUTS application, and I ran across this dilemma - what do I do when there are doublequotes inside the single quotes inside the doublequotes of a window.location.href command?

example:

window.location.href= '<html:rewrite forward="attributes"/>?jmxItem=<bean:write name="result" filter="false" property="encodedBeanName"/>';


thanks!

You can escape them by using backslashes. This assumes that the string below is contained in double quotes...

window.location.href= '<html:rewrite forward=\"attributes\"/>?jmxItem=<bean:write name=\"result\" filter=\"false\" property=\"encodedBeanName\"/>';

heh - cool. Like java/C. HTML/DHTML/Javascript deserves more credit from coders than it gets ;) :D

strange - that line generates a "quote expected" error...

is there any way of just making it go back as if the back button was pressed? That'd probably be a lot easier...

Yep, but remember that it won't work for the 13% of users who do not have JavaScript enabled:

<a href="#" onclick="history.go(-1); return false;">Go Back</a>

:( havent been able to test this until just now, but in that form it works - how would i integrate it into my event handling code to make it work when escape is pressed?
