Mchl Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Unless they state some special reason for it, you shouldn't. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/197522-quick-questin-should-i-escape-as-when-outputting-to-xhtml/#findComment-1036665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs.punk Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Unless they state some special reason for it, you shouldn't. Even with the CDATA element in place, validators get confused by forward slashes (like the one in the </em> tag). Whenever you want to use a / character in JavaScript strings, precede it with a backslash (<\/em>). Doing so helps the validator understand that you intend to place a slash character at the next position. er Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/197522-quick-questin-should-i-escape-as-when-outputting-to-xhtml/#findComment-1036681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I didn't notice it's in JavaScript section not in PHP. I have little experience with JS, so I can't really say how true this is. Sorry for confusing you.
