javascript ampersand handling?

[galvin]

I have a page that uses Javascript to add certain pieces of text to an array using...

 

correctans.push(<?php echo $arrayname; ?>[i]);

 

 

I found that when the piece of text that equates to...

 

 (<?php echo $arrayname; ?>[i]); 

...has an ampersand in it, it cuts it off exactly at the ampersand and doesn't add anymore pieces of text after that.

 

For example, if the correctans array was getting these pieces of text..

 

-Pearl Jam

-U2

-Prince & The New Power Generation

 

After using the javascript/php above to add to the array, the array would look like...

 

Array ( [0] => Pearl Jam  [1] => U2  [2] => Prince )

 

See how it cuts off when it gets to the "&" sign?

 

Anyone know what I have to do to allow ampersands to go into my correctans array and display properly?

try using escape() (JavaScript function) on the string.

Try:

 

 

correctans.push('<?php echo $arrayname; ?>');
