store html in a variable in javascript.

[jonniejoejonson]

var testVar="steve";

 

that works fine...

but

 

var testVar='<div class="test"><img src="test.jpg"></div>';

 

Is there something i can do to allow me to use html tags in a variable... regards J.

You CAN store html tags in a javascript variable. What is it you a re trying to do? and what are you having problems with?

Thanks for the response, but i think i have solved it... I was trying to loop through a php array and convert it into javascript array. When i was looping through the php array, if it had quotes in it, then it would break, therefore by using php addslashes function it appears to solve the problem.
