I have a nice example button image swap routine written in JavaScript which I’d like to use in a .lc script.
To use HTML etc. within a .lc script I have to put the statement in double quotes such as: put “<html>” or put “<A HREF=‘http://www.google.com' <http://www.google.com'/>>” where I have to substitute single quotes for the normal double quotes to make it work. That’s fine until I have a statement that is already using both double and single quotes. The statement still needs to be converted into a .lc script format. The following statement will get parsed the wrong way if one wants to put it into double quotes. <A HREF="http://www.google.com"; onmouseover="movepic('button','pic-off.gif')" onmouseout="movepic('button','pic-on.gif')"><IMG NAME="button" SRC="pic-off.gif" ALT="Image"></A> becomes: put "<A HREF="http://www.google.com"; onmouseover="movepic('button','pic-off.gif')" onmouseout="movepic('button','pic-on.gif')"><IMG NAME="button" SRC="pic-off.gif" ALT="Image"></A>” As you can see the above statement will not be parsed correctly. Suggestions? On a related note, if a user types in a word such as “can’t” into a field, the apostrophe gets interpreted as a single quote and that messes up the parsing of various .lc script statements too. How do you usually solve these issues?
