Tip - Using Backquotes when having html in text

Hello,

I was having trouble entering   in my text, (with an html link containing an = sign inside the text), and found this old tip from Andy that came in handy.

Code:

aI("text=`<p>  <a href='/index.html'>Hello</a>`;type=form;");

----
The system is smart enough to know that something like   is a non-breaking space and so add this as a character without breaking the text string.

However, there are times when this may fail usually because you have included an equals sign as well as a semi colon. In this instance you would need to use back quotes, like this.

Code:

aI("text=`Here  is an equal sign "="`;url=#");

Note the use of "Back Quotes" rather than a normal quote mark.

Hope this helps
