.html() garbles div information

It appears that .html() is somehow messing up reading the contents of a div.

Here is my php code which loads into the div.

$own_pre_selection .= "<input name='" . mysql_result($result,$i,"did") . "' value='" . mysql_result($result,$i,"did") . "' type='hidden'><span class='addremove' onclick=\"recordchecks('" . mysql_result($result,$i,"dname") . "','" . mysql_result($result,$i,"did") . "')\";><u>Remove</u></span> &nbsp;" . mysql_result($result,$i,"dname") . "<br>";

Code (markup):

Here is what I see as source code after the page renders.

<input name='677' value='677' type='hidden'><span class='addremove' onclick="recordchecks('Heart Neoplasms','677')";><u>Remove</u></span> &nbsp;Heart Neoplasms<br><input name='1298' value='1298' type='hidden'><span class='addremove' onclick="recordchecks('Heart Septal Defects; Atrial','1298')";><u>Remove</u></span> &nbsp;Heart Septal Defects; Atrial<br></div>

Code (markup):

When I test alert() the .html() contents it appears like this. It seems to screw up the quote escape and changes \" to " ;="" after the recordchecks().

<input name="677" value="677" type="hidden"><span class="addremove" onclick="recordchecks('Heart Neoplasms','677')" ;=""><u>Remove</u></span> &nbsp;Heart Neoplasms<br><input name="1298" value="1298" type="hidden"><span class="addremove" onclick="recordchecks('Heart Septal Defects; Atrial','1298')" ;=""><u>Remove</u></span> &nbsp;Heart Septal Defects; Atrial<br>

Code (markup):

So even though the source code looks perfect, if I alert() the div contents with html() it seems to get a bit garbled in the process. Any ideas?

 

Your javascript is wrong. The semicolon should be after the js statement not after the quotes:

$own_pre_selection .= "<input name='" . mysql_result($result,$i,"did") . "' value='" . mysql_result($result,$i,"did") . "' type='hidden'><span class='addremove' onclick=\"recordchecks('" . mysql_result($result,$i,"dname") . "','" . mysql_result($result,$i,"did") . "');\"><u>Remove</u></span> &nbsp;" . mysql_result($result,$i,"dname") . "<br>";

ahhh makes sense, thanks!!
