Strange string thing happening.

[Kevin Huff-2]

Hey guys. I have something kinda funky happening to me. I'm generating the code for some stuff and I'm making a link to a cfwindow. But when the page is made the link for the window is all sorts of messed up. I'm sure it has to do with escaping the single quotes but I've tried a bunch of different variations and none have worked. Idas?

This code:
        <cfset noteCell = "<div class='noteCell'><span class='noteInfo'>#getNotes.user#    #getNotes.timeStamp#     <a href='javascript:ColdFusion.Window.show(''ReplyToNote#getNotes.id#'')'>Reply</a></span></div>">

Generates this link:
<div class="noteCell">
<span class="noteInfo">

</span>
<br/>
</div>

If you look at your cfset, you encase the content in double quotes.

But inside that string, the javascript show function param is also encased
in double quotes.

You need to escape those inner double quotes. You can do this by making 2 in
a row. ""


...Window.show(""ReplyToNote#getNotes.id#"")'>...


...I think. I admit to being a little CF rusty lately.

It is actually encased in double single quotes. I guess that was my problem. I thought I needed it to be single quotes around the window name. I guess not. Thanks a lot Jerry.

Kevin.
