Hi,
at this page (example), hidden link
I have a button that opens a gallery with user uploaded photos.
This is done by pure javascript (no jquery), and I use a content template to get the nessasary values for the script to work:
src: '[types field='stort-billede3' url='true'][/types]',
title: '[types field='titel-stort-billede3'][/types]'

In a view I have a loop with the above values for images (src and title) that are used in the script, and the view also adds the remaining js-code for the gallery to work.

But as you can see in the source I get javascript error, because the apostrophes (') are converted into html entity

&#8216;

.
And therefor the gallery script dont work (cant load the src and title values).

How can I avoid that apostrophes are not encoded?

Best,
Anders

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I wonder if you tested your code while omitting the single quotes:

src: [types field='stort-billede3' url='true'][/types],
title: [types field='titel-stort-billede3'][/types]

Instead of:

src: '[types field='stort-billede3' url='true'][/types]',
title: '[types field='titel-stort-billede3'][/types]'

If this does not help, please try the "raw" attribute equal to true:

[types field='stort-billede3' url='true' raw='true'][/types]

If this does not help, I might need to take a closer look at your admin area to check this further.
