I'm making a custom sorting tool for my custom gridview.
I use jQuery ui $.autocomplete()
to find DISTINCT
VALUE
s from a COLUMN
in a TABLE
.
I then add the selected values to a jquery ui $.selectable()
.
I usually use the id
attribute to store distinct type values like this (such as TABLE
PRIMARY
ies), so my problem comes in when I try to store these values where they probably will not be compliant with HTML id
standards or readable by jQuery.
How can I create a function to escape and de-escape any text from a database into HTML id
readable by jQuery and back again?
