http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30082 escape to javascript for use as href in window.open Summary: escape to javascript for use as href in window.open Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: All URL: http://www.blue-moose.net OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Lang AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could the following code be added to StringEscapeUtils? The use case is, you have a javascript routine which runs a window.open with parameters in the URL. A reason for this kind of functionality would be modularized poping of windows with parameters. Most characters are handled nicely with the javascript escape method. However backslash, double quote, single quote and percent are not handled cleanly. This method resolves the issues with this situation. Thanks Edgar /** * encode a string for an href parameter escaped to a javascript function * which will perform a window.open(). * usage in JSP * * <a href='javascript:myFunction("/myURI?myVarName=" + * escape("<%=StringEscapeUtils.jsEscape(myVariable)%>"));'> */ public static String jsEscape(String s) { if (s == null) { return ""; } char [] c = s.toCharArray(); StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(); for (int i = 0; i < c.length; i++) { switch (c[i]) { case '\\' : result.append("\\\\"); // escape break; case '\'' : result.append("\\%27"); // single quote break; case '\"' : result.append("\\%22"); // double quote break; case '%' : result.append("%25"); // percent break; default : result.append(s.substring(i,i+1)); } } return result.toString(); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
