displaying a string that contains ' (quote)

[gomzi]

hi,

I have a string like this -> what a great 'score'

now when i try to display this in a div through javascript,

iddiv.innerText = str;

then i get an error that ')' is expected...

my only guess is that it encounters the first quote and considers that the end of the string,

so i would like to know as to how i could display the string correctly.

thanks,
gomzi.

as for your question

str='what a great \"score';

iddiv=document.getElementById('mydiv')

iddiv.innerHTML=str;

Tried it in firefox. the innerHTML solution doesnt help much..firefox is not displaying anything.. in ie and opera it works great..

There must be something else wrong with some other part of your code. For example, are you using document.all anywhere?
