Hello Bharat,

You can escape special characters in JavaScript by using the backslash ( \ ) character. So if you want to include a quote in a string (without terminating your string) you can do something like this. "He said \"Hello World\" to me." Here is a link with more more information.

Hope this helps,

To pass special characters in JavaScript strings, escape them properly. For instance:

javascript
CopyEdit
openAlert('Info', "Please enter proper delimiters i.e. (' ', ',' , '|' , '-')", ' ', 400, 300);

Or, escape single quotes like this:

javascript
CopyEdit
openAlert('Info', 'Please enter proper delimiters i.e. (\' \', \',\' , \'|\' , \'-\')', ' ', 400, 300);

This ensures the characters display correctly in the alert.
