if I am placing the string MV'C Like This

<input type="text" value="MV'C">

is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

I think your problem can be solved in two ways.

1. using single quotes to wrap the text.

<input type="text" value='DO"C' />

2. using HTML Entities : https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp

<input type="text" value="DO&quot;C" />

Answer 2

Always escape special symbols in javascript such as ' or " with a backslash like so \" or \'

as for html:" for doublequotes " and ' for single quotes '
