Hi. How can I write <body onload="javascript:document.getElemByID('q').focus();"> in BlazeHtml? The problem is that single quotes are always converted to HTML. I'd appreciate a quick response. Thanks in advance. -- Morel Pisum

Hey, The preEscapedXXX functions make sure no HTML escaping occurs. In this case, we use preEscapedTextValue: Text, because we're passing Text to the function, and Value, because it needs to be converted to an HTML attribute value. {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} import Text.Blaze (Html, (!)) import qualified Text.Blaze.Html5 as H import qualified Text.Blaze.Html5.Attributes as A test :: Html test = H.body ! A.onload (H.preEscapedTextValue "javascript:document.getElemByID('q').focus();") $ "" Hope this helps, Cheers, Jasper On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 6:44 PM, Morel Pisum wrote:

While Jasper's response answered your literal question, I'd add that the reason your code isn't working isn't the HTML encoding, which should be left alone. The problem is that your event handler shouldn't have "javascript:" in front of it, and the DOM method is "getElem*ent*ById", not getElemById. Try document.getElementById('q').focus() which should come out with ', which is fine.

In fact, I had this problem, yes. Thank you for your help but I was able to solve this problem before. Thanks anyway. -- Keep it pure.

Also it'd be better to use the autofocus attribute of inputs. Javascript focusing is quirky and not configurable.

Wow. That's a great advice! Thanks!
