Disallowed characters in Javascript

PROGRAMMING

I am using some javascript which displays user-inputted text in a special way.

The problem is, that certain characters (such as ') mess up the script.

Rather than just disallow certain characters, I would prefer to allow all so thought to do this by converting ascii chars. However, even when converted, it still messes up the script.

I am using ASP, although not sure if this has relevance.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ben Shaffer

Probably need to look at the JavaScript escape & unescape functions.

Thanks. That worked well on the '. Is there is a more general way of doing this rather than having to replace each suspect character. For example, if I don't know which character will cause the error.

What other characters are still giving you grief? Posting some example code would help as well.
