Java code to output escaped Javascript?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I'm using Java 6.  I want to output code for a Javascript variable ...

			String jsValue = escapeForJS(value);
			String expression = "storedVars['myVar'] = \"" + jsValue + "\";";

Is there anything standard that will do this?  I came up with my own
function, but I don't want to worry about leaving anything out.

	/* creates a JS expression that can be used within quotes. */
	private String escapeForJS(String value) {
		value = value.replace("\n", "\\n");
		value = value.replace("\r", "\\r");
		value = value.replace("\"", "\\\"");
		return value;
	}

 - Dave
