Javascript function parameter character escape

Question

I need to pass a variable to a JavaScript function, but I have a little trouble. In the .cs file, I have written:

string id = "some'id";
this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<input type=\"button\" onClick=\"myFunction('"+id+"')\">"));

As you can see there is an ' (single quote) in the id. Is there any way to work around this issue?

Escape ' with a \ (backslash). For example,

console.log('string with \'');

Escape your string for such kind of characters"/","\","'"

example

string id = "some/'id";

You should escape your string , which would lead to :

 id = "some\'id";

 <script type="text/javascript">
    function myFunction(someid) {
        someid = someid.replace('#', '\'');
        alert(someid);
    }
</script>

in Your code

string id = "some'id".Replace("'","#");

this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<input type=\"button\" value=\"Test\" onclick=\"myFunction('" + id + "');\">"));

Hope this will Helps you..
