Closing Tag in HTML / JavaScript

Question

I have a JavaScript in which one of the line is

imgtag = '<div style="float:left; padding:0px 10px 5px 0px;"><a expr:href="data:post.url"><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="218px" height="170px"/></a></div>';

In the above code I want <a expr:href="data:post.url"> to be changed in <a expr:href='data:post.url'> but adding this type of closing tag is conflicting with the Javascripts closing tag. What should I do ?

if you just want to change the type of quote, try escaping: `\'` — Harry, Aug 09 '13 at 15:04

You can escape the single quote like \'

Do you mean you want to escape the characters?

If so you will need to include \' instead of ", and change your code to:

imgtag = '<div style="float:left; padding:0px 10px 5px 0px;"><a expr:href=\'data:post.url\'><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="218px" height="170px"/></a></div>';

This will result in the line expr:href='data:post.url'

Escape it with \'.

imgtag = '<div style="float:left; padding:0px 10px 5px 0px;"><a expr:href=\'data:post.url\'><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="218px" height="170px"/></a></div>';

compilation, by what? the browser? what are you doing with the string following this? – sushain97 Aug 09 '13 at 15:24
Yah I added the code in my blogger blog. If the code would have been correct a URL would be generated but it didn't for me. I inspected the HTML via Firebug and save that code. – Dhiraj Barnwal Aug 09 '13 at 15:37
I'm not familiar with blogger templating, you might want to ask someone else. Sorry. – sushain97 Aug 09 '13 at 15:47
