Escape quotes in JavaScript

Question

I\'m outputting values from a database (it isn\'t really open to public entry, but it is open to entry by a user at the company -- meaning, I\'m not worried about XSS).

Answer 1

This is how I do it, basically str.replace(/[\""]/g, '\\"').

var display = document.getElementById('output');
var str = 'class="whatever-foo__input" id="node-key"';
display.innerHTML = str.replace(/[\""]/g, '\\"');

//will return class=\"whatever-foo__input\" id=\"node-key\"
