Re^2: Perl, JavaScript and quoting/escaping

Generally, as long as you keep using the same type of quote, you double the \'s for each nested level, so try:

example.jsfunction('<a href=\'\' onclick=\\'alert(\\\\'test\\\\')\\'><
+/a>')

That would only work for if all of JS, HTML and Perl used "\" to escape. HTML doesn't. Assuming you had the right number of slashes — you don't — you're code results in the following HTML: `<a href='' onclick='alert(\' <- Nice JS! test\')' <- eh? ></a>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
