Wont escaping quotes work in BoxOver at all?

[nehakansal]

I did read a post about this, but wanted to make sure if I understood it correctly. I tried escaping quotes in jsp scriptlet before using a jsp variable in the title attribute for the tooltip, but that doesnt work. Does that mean, we can not at all have any quotes in the tooltip text? If we can, can anyone tell me how, thanks.

Hey,

You can't escape quotes in the context of dynamically constructing javascript statements.

However if you want quotes to appear in the tooltip text just use "

e.g.

title="header=[this shows a "] body=[body text]

Hi Olly

Well, what I want to do is use a jsp expression to specify the tooltip i.e. body = <%= jspvariable %>. Now if in the variable I escape all the quotes before hand and then use the variable, still I guess it wont work, right? And probably there are other characters as well that wont work.
