rated 0 times [ 174] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 163020 / 15 Years ago, mon, april 20, 2009, 12:00:00

Does JavaScript have a built-in function like PHP's addslashes (or addcslashes) function to add backslashes to characters that need escaping in a string?

For example, this:

This is a demo string with
'single-quotes' and double-quotes.

...would become:

This is a demo string with
'single-quotes' and
double-quotes.
