html - Setting a button value to contain an ampersand coded character via JavaScript - Stack Overflow

I'm trying to set a button value to be « (or ») via JavaScript with the following code:

document.getElementById('hideButton').value='«';

This just sets the button text to « rather than «.

The HTML markup works fine (i.e. <input type="button" value="&laquo;">) giving the double left arrow quote on the button face.

Is there some special way of escaping the ampersand code in JavaScript?

Thanks,

FM

• Sorry, that was a typo in the question... I've added the extra ; in the question but it was already in my code. – Fat Monk Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 10:19

here just convert to UTF it should work.

document.getElementById('hideButton').value='\u00AB';
document.getElementById('otherButton').value='\u00BB';

here a link to convert special text

couldn't you just do this?

document.getElementById("hideButton").value = "«";

Sorry I would have just mented, but haven't got enough rep yet.

Alternatively, use the unicode \u00AB

http://jsfiddle/s53FH/

you could use the -element instead

<button id="hideButton"> </button>
<script>
    document.getElementById('hideButton').innerHTML='&laquo;';
</script>
