using quotes in variables

asd987

Hi,

I use document.write in a HTML-document to display same information. Now I
have a problem displaying text that sometimes contains two kinds of quotes
simultanelisly. I don't know on beforehand if this is the situation. See
example:

## ---

<script language="JavaScript">
var a1; // text to display - variable between '
var a2; // text to display - variable between "

a1='This text (a1) contains the single (') and the double (") quote and is
placed between single quotes. How can I display this variable using
document.write?'

a2="This text (a2) contains the single (') and the double (") quote and is
placed between double quotes. How can I display this variable using
document.write?"

document.write(""+a1+" "+a2+"");
</script>

## ---

Is there possibly another character to use for placing around the text? Or
any other solution?

Thanks,

Sjoerd

through the post intact..
<html><head><title></title>
</head><body text="#000000">
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
</body></html>

a1='This text (a1) contains the single (\') and the double (") quote';
a2="This text (a2) contains the single (') and the double (\") quote";
document.write(""+a1+" "+a2+"");

document.write(a1, ' ', a2);
