Q: Javascript Option object and HTML special characters
Does anybody know if the Option object in Javascript is unable to display
HTML special characters like ", >, ™ ?
Example:
I would like to display the trademark character TM ( ™ ) by dynamically
adding an option to a dropdown using the Option object. However, the ™
gets displayed as is, without getting converted to the TM character.
Try the sample code below. I have two options that are statically displayed
with the special characters and they display fine. But when I try to add
a dynamic option with the special character, it does not display properly.
Any help/suggestions will be greately appreciated.
Sample Code:
<html>
<script>
function AddOption()
{
var l;
l = document.joydeep.cbo.length;
document.joydeep.cbo[l] = new Option("CompactFlash™",123,false,false);
}
</script>
<body>
<form name="joydeep">
<SELECT name="cbo" onchange=AddOption()>
<OPTION value="1">Trademarked Item™</OPTION>
<OPTION value="2">Copyrighted Item®</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Re: Javascript Option object and HTML special characters
According the WC3 specs, the correct character entity for trademark is
either ™ or ™
Try this
var strOption = "CompactFlash™"

Re: Q: Javascript Option object and HTML special characters
Check this code snippet out.. This works
function AddOption()
{
var l;
l = document.joydeep.cbo.length;
document.joydeep.cbo[l] = new Option("",123,false,false);
document.joydeep.cbo[l].innerHTML = "CompactFlash™";
}
cheers,
