jQuery Ajax Request Issues

[jjacquay712]

I have an ajax request with jQuery that messes up when there is a single quote in the data being sent to the server.

 

$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "request.php",
data: senddata,
success: function(html){
	$("#main-content").html(html);
     		$("#loading").css("display", "none");
   	}

});

 

for example if "senddata" was equal to "blah blah blah", it would work. But if the data has a single quote in it like this: "blah's blah blah", it will not work. Anyone know why this is happening? Or have any suggestions on how I could fix it?

what does the value of senddata look like? it should look like:

  var senddata = {'test':"Blah's blah blah"};

and what is the specific error you are getting?

I figured it out. It wasn't a problem with the ajax request. It the quote was interfering with the syntax of the JavaScript.

 

<li onclick="document.location.hash='#navigate=search&search=Fiction Family - When She** ' **s Near';">Fiction Family - When She's Near</li>

yeah, just escape it with a slash
