Description
I want to create an html element / dom object with jquery.
This object has an attribute containing the quotes, and they are thus escaped.
Example :
<input type="text" value="toto \\"tata\\"" />
The text displayed in the input will be : [toto \\] (in firefox 2, opera 9 and IE7), and my input will have an attribute : tata\\.
The problem arises either with single or double quotes :
<input type="text" value='toto \\'tata\\'' />
would present the same problem.
Forms retrieved via ajax will not present their real content, for example, if their value contains the quotes used around the attribute value.
It's normal behaviour of the browsers. I thought it was a problem during the jquery parsing to create the elements, but no, the same thing in plain html has the same problem. Could not find a way to delete the ticket. Sorry for the trouble.
