Re: ESCAPE SINGLE QUOTES FOR JAVASCRIPT PARAMETER IN X

Hi Martin,

Many thanks for your reply.

I use XSLT 1.0. So the function you provided will not work for me.

Is there any similar trick in XSLT 1.0?

Cheers

Claudio

Do you use XSLT 2.0 or 1.0?

Here is an XSLT 2.0 function that escapes four characters as needed for
JavaScript string literals:

   <xsl:function name="my:escape" as="xs:string">
     <xsl:param name="s" as="xs:string"/>
     <xsl:sequence
       select="replace(
                 replace(
                   replace(
                     replace($s, &quot;'&quot;, &quot;\\'&quot;),
                     '&quot;',
                     '\\&quot;'
                   ),
                   '\r',
                   '\\r'
                 ),
                 '\n',
                 '\\n'
               )"/>
   </xsl:function>

You can the use it as e.g.
   '<xsl:value-of select="my:escape(@AR)"/>'
