search and replace along with apply-templates
Subject: search and replace along with apply-templates From: Robert Koberg <rob@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 07:55:37 -0800 |
I have some JavaScript functions that, on click of a glossed word, open a new window and writes to it with document.write. That all works fine except there is potential for it to break if the defintion contains a single quote. Is there some way to apply-templates and search for the single quote character and prepend the js escape character "\" to the single quote? Below is where I put together the JS for the switch(case) statement: <xsl:template match="glossentry"> <xsl:variable name="theword" select="normalize-space(glossterm)"/> case "<xsl:value-of select="$theword"/>": item = '<b><xsl:value-of select="$theword"/></b><br/><br/>'; <!-- this part could contain a single quote --> def = '<xsl:apply-templates select="glossdef/example/para" mode="glossary"/>'; break; </xsl:template> an example of the output: case "expatriate": item = '<b>expatriate</b><br><br>'; def = 'The French <i>expatriates</i> in the U.S. got together to celebrate Bastille Day.<br><br>While managing his company's operations in a small town southeast of Paris, Leon Chester, then an American <i>expatriate</i>, noticed that his French colleagues shook hands every morning.<br><br>'; break; -------- This will fail is JS because of the single quote after "<br>While managing his company's ". Is there a way to search the string delivered by: <xsl:apply-templates select="glossdef/example/para" mode="glossary"/> and escape any single quotes, for example: case "expatriate": item = '<b>expatriate</b><br><br>'; def = 'The French <i>expatriates</i> in the U.S. got together to celebrate Bastille Day.<br><br>While managing his company\'s operations in a small town southeast of Paris, Leon Chester, then an American <i>expatriate</i>, noticed that his French colleagues shook hands every morning.<br><br>'; break; tia, Rob XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
