This is just a guess, but I think the problem might have to do with the fact
that you're using the same name for the local variable as you are for the
argument. You should be able to do this:
function TextStore(db_string) {
var tmp_db_string = PreserveSingleQuotes(db_string);
return tmp_db_string;
}
Or this:
function TextStore(db_string) {
return PreserveSingleQuotes(db_string);
}
However, as Barney points out, this isn't going to buy you much, I suspect,
since it only makes sense to use PreserveSingleQuotes within a CFQUERY tag.
Presumably, you could call your function within your CFQUERY tag and it
might work, but I don't know if that's what you plan to do.
