ScriptQuote Element

  • Article

The ScriptQuote element encodes a string to fit within JavaScript code. This element is used for rendering text from the server that must be interpreted as a quoted string.

Syntax

<ScriptQuote
  NotAddingQuote = "TRUE" | "FALSE">
</ScriptQuote>

Attributes

Name Description
NotAddingQuote Optional Boolean. TRUE to eliminate quotation marks for enclosing a string. The default value is FALSE.

Remarks

The ScriptQuote element performs the following conversions on its body text:

  • converts " to \"
  • converts \ to \\
  • converts CR to \r\CR (where CR is character code 13)

Example

The code <ScriptQuote>This is a test</ScriptQuote> returns "This is a test" because NotAddingQuote is not set to TRUE. The code <ScriptQuote NotAddingQuote="TRUE">This is a test</ScriptQuote>, however, returns This is a test, without quotation marks, because NotAddingQuote is set to TRUE. Note that in the second case, the string is not surrounded by quotation marks.
