I have this problem:
array[i].idAuthor is a String variable. I want to pass this String to a function which is called inside an append-String.
The code works fine in Chrome and Firefox except for Internet Explorer. IE gives me this error: SCRIPT1014: Invalid character
I think the issue are the `-Quotes.
I hope the following example helps to express my problem.
<script>
(...)
$("#id").append("<div onClick='myFunc(`" + array[i].idAuthor + "`);'>" + i + "</div>");
(...)
<script>
Is there another way to handle my situation or to replace the `-Quotes with another character that is compatible with IE?
It looks like you're putting backticks (`) into your string there.
onClick='myFunc(`" + ... + "`);'>
In modern browsers, backticks are used for template literals. IE11 doesn't support template literals.
Instead, try escaping your quotes:
onClick='myFunc(\"" + array[i].idAuthor + "\");'>
You should use normal quotes, but escape them so they are parsed as part of the string:
$("#id").append("<div onClick='myFunc(\"" + array[i].idAuthor + "\");'>" + i + "</div>");
//------------------------------------^^ ----------------------^^
//create element using jquery
var elm = $('<div>');
//put ID as custom attribute
elm.attr('data-author-id', array[i].idAuthor);
//put some html content for new element
elm.html(i);
// catch click on it
elm.click(function(){
// call external function and pass your custom tag attribute as value
myFunc( $(this).attr('data-author-id') );
});
$("#id").append(elm);
something like that should work.
of more shot way:
$("#id").append($('<div>')
.attr('data-author-id', array[i].idAuthor)
.html(i)
.click(function(){
// call external function and pass your custom tag attribute as value
myFunc( $(this).attr('data-author-id') );
}));
jQuery have lot of functionality control tag attributes, events, values and lot's of useful stuff.
