I am having a variable in php which contains an input with a inclick event like this:
$SelectButton = '<input type="button" class="control-copytextarea" onclick="return fieldtoclipboard.copyfield(event, "id1")" value="Select All and Copy" /><br>';
I use this php variable in a javascript to prepend it to a class like this:
$('.surroundpre', this).prepend('$SelectButton');
When I look into the source with my browser, I see this code which is created:
<input type="button" class="control-copytextarea" onclick="return fieldtoclipboard.copyfield(event, " id1")"="" value="Select All and Copy">
As you can see, the is a space before id1 and there is "="" before the value. So there must be something wrong with the syntax but I cannot figure out what is wrong
You need to use single quotes within the onclick attribute and escape them. Try this:
$SelectButton = '<input type="button" class="control-copytextarea" onclick="return fieldtoclipboard.copyfield(event, \\\'id1\\\')" value="Select All and Copy" /><br>';
