Can't escape character in jquery javascript [duplicate]

Question

I need to escape " in a jquery string, however the " doesnt print. I am using \" to escape it.

$form.append(name +' <input type="checkbox" class="team" id="team" 
data-value1="age:'+ age +'" data-value2="fav_color = '  + color +' "/>


$form.append(name +' <input type="checkbox" class="team" id="team" 
data-value1="age: \"'+ age +' \"" data-value2="fav_color = \"'  + color +' "\"/>

 result = 'age: 12' for both

I need

 result = 'age: "12"'

I think you have to use the html encoded version of the quotes rather than escaping them: stackoverflow.com/questions/7260195/… — Pete

You need to use html entities, eg.:

$form.append(name +' <input type="checkbox" class="team" id="team" data-value1="age:&quot;'+ age +'&quot;" data-value2="fav_color = '  + color +' "/>');
