I have this line of code
formsParent.innerHTML = "<p style = 'color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman" font-size: 2em'> Order submitted. Thank you for ordering! </p>"
The first quote is for the innerHTML
property. Next is the properties inside the style
attribute of the <p>
element, and finally I need another quote inside this for the font-family
property with a value that has multiple words so it also needs quotation marks. There are only "" and '', and using double quotes for the font-family throws an error. How do I use quotes inside quotes inside quotes?
**EDIT: This is NOT a duplicate of the Double quote in JavaScript string. **
In the above question, the OP asks for single-nested quotes - single quotes isnide double quotes was the answer or vice versa.
In my question, I ask for double-nested quotes - [quotes] inside [quotes] inside [quotes]. My question is an extra layer of quotes.
In your case you'd need to escape the quotes
:
formsParent.innerHTML = "<p style='color: black; font-family: \"Times New Roman\"; font-size: 2em'> Order submitted. Thank you for ordering! </p>";
But, in such cases it's better to use the backtick
to contain the innerHTML
value, thus you'd never need to escape the apostrophes
nor the quotes
:
formsParent.innerHTML = `<p style='color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 2em'> Order submitted. Thank you for ordering! </p>`;
