I'm doing some stuff with javascript and I'm wondering, how do I put an apostrophe in a string in javascript?
theAnchorText = 'I apostrophe M home';
You can use double quotes instead of single quotes:
theAnchorText = I'm home;
Alternatively, escape the apostrophe:
theAnchorText = 'I'm home';
The backslash tells JavaScript (this has nothing to do with jQuery, by the way) that the next character should be interpreted as special. In this case, an apostrophe after a backslash means to use a literal apostrophe but not to end the string.
There are also other characters you can put after a backslash to indicate other special characters. For example, you can use n for a new line, or t for a tab.
