Question

var htmlAnch=\'

        

Answer 1

Write your own function to return a escaped string. Demo

Pass your string as argument to this function and you will get escaped string. You can also add more characters to blocklist if you want to escape some more characters

function remove_quotes(values1)
{
        var values = values1.toString();
        var str = "";
        var blockList = ['"','\'','\\']; // This is the list of key words to be escaped
        var flag = 0;
        for(var i = 0;i
