Hi Jason: I wouldn't worry too much about replacing your 'nutty' replace functions, as jstringFormat() is really just a built-in replace function itself. Well, actually *I* would worry about it...but I'm really anal. A sane person wouldn't worry about it :)
As far as the function escaping you...yeah, i know that feeling too. I've been using CF since 1996, and I just recently (like 3 months ago recently) found out about the <cfsavecontent> tag. Wow. charlie (dying to try out this new '<cfquery>' tag that he's just recently heard about too) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 5:15 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Single Quotes in Field value throwing error outputing in javascript on cf page Well - that was an uncontested 5 suggestions for jsStringFormat() - and it worked wonderfully. How did that little function escape me so long. My toughest decision is now do I go back through old project cleaning up my nutty replace functions I previously dreamed up and replace with jsStringFormat() ! :) Thanks everyone - I knew posting to the list would help. jay miller charlie griefer wrote: > there is a jsStringFormat() function which will escape the 'dangerous' > javascript characters :) > > hth, > charlie > > Jason Miller writes: > > >>Hello list - >>I have an access database - it already has text in a memo field riddled >>with ' quotes.
