I'm doing an ajax callback that's supposed to update a div with new text:
# action
...
return 'jQuery("#my-target").html("%s");' % clean_str(make_contents(filename
))
def make_contents(filename):
return open(filename, 'rb').read().decode('utf-8')
def clean_str(text):
return str(text).replace('"', '\\"').replace("’", "'")......and so on
Problem is I've run into a funny string
begin offending text


end offending text
that chokes the jQuery somewhere inside of web2py.js and causes the text to
not get displayed in the target div.
Firebug complains:
1. Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

I suspect this is an encoding problem. I suspect the text unfolds to a
quote that messes up the .html("%s") part of the jQuery. But this has me
stumped. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
