How do you quote the string "</script>"

Hi,

As the subject says, I'm having trouble quoting the text </script>

I have a method that uses single quote for quoting strings, e.g.

myMethod('some string param'); // I can't pass the string '<script>var a=0;</script>'

It throws an error unterminated string :(

any idea why?

TIA

Use DOM methods to add script elements, not document.write:

var newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.type = 'text/javascript';
newScript.src = 'myScript.js';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(newScript);

The simplest change is to escape it like this to stop the </script> being interpreted as end-of-Javascript:

'<script>var a=0;<\/script>'
