[Javascript] Escape Javascript?

[Paul Novitski]

Ant,

To address your bookmarking problem, maybe what you need to do is render 
the text URL-safe using the Javascript function escape() rather than taking 
the & route.  If necessary, you could use unescape() to translate the 
string back to normal before actually writing it to your child window.

Another nice pair of tools for debugging are the .outerHTML and .innerHTML 
properties, which give you the HTML script for an object including the 
object's own tag and attributes (.outerHTML) and enclosed by the tag only 
(.innerHTML).  These could help in cases in which you want your child 
window to display the actual HTML being generated for a particular part of 
your page.
