Some times when server side needs to write out a string variable that initializes a javascript string it is important to know how to escape strings.

The usual html escape and unescape are either too heavy handed and require probably special handling.

A good approach may be just use the back slashes to skip the quote double or single quotes.

How to replace tabs with spaces

How to set body onload from javascript

We ran into a usecase where a user has to explicitly target a tab in ie. For example users have logged into salesforce.com cloud in one window. These users are then taking calls in that window. However same users are using another internet application to complete their work. It would be messy to open up these multiple windows every time work needs to be done.

It is probably better to target just one window and the user transferred to one window. Better yet to target a specific tab.

So started my search. I thought it ought to be simple. As it turned out there doesnt seem to be a good way to do this through regular unsigned javascript in ie7. I did find a way to do this in firefox.

ie seem to control tab vs new window purely through user configuration. Users can choose to set a global ie option to open new windows targeted by "_blank" to either an actual new window or a tab. Once they set this option as tab then the simple window.open(url) will open that url in a new tab.

I still want to force to open in a new tab. Perhas I will find a way through signed javascript. that is for another day or week.

If you are further curious what follows is my research and notes on how I came to this conclusion. Click on the item above to see that research.

4. A plug for dhtml

Consider this


function Pair(inMin, inMax)
{
    this.min = inMin;
    this.max = inMax;
}

Which would let me use


var somepair = new Pair(5,10);
somepair.min => 5
somepair.max => 10

See this function now


function getTotalScaledScorePair()
{
    var rpair = getReadingScaledScorePair();
    var wpair = getWritingScaledScorePair();
    var mpair = getMathScaledScorePair();
    
    var tmin = rpair.min + wpair.min + mpair.min;
    var tmax = rpair.max + wpair.max + mpair.max;
    return new Pair(tmin, tmax);
