HTML snippet as parameter of a javascript function

Question

I have little knowledge of javascript, how can I pass a code embedding some video in a function as a string?

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="exibirVideo('CODIGO DE EMBED AQUI')">

I’m having problems because I can not pass the embed of the video as string, which ends the tag <a> prematurely with some of the > embed interns

If you set the "click" anchor callback on <script*src=*>*</script> you will never have to face script-inline problems.

Your problem should be related to quotation marks, it is possible to resolve using quotation marks (") whether an apostrophe was used in the anchor attribute (') to represent a value, or vice versa.

If you want to represent a quote or apostrophe in a string in Javascript you can escape it with , for example: <a onclick='"\' apóstrofo - \" aspa"'></a>. Or:

"\x22" // aspa (ASCII)
String.fromCharCode(0x22) // aspa
String.fromCharCode(34) // aspa
"\x27" // apóstrofo (ASCII)
"\u0022" // aspa (UTF-8)
"\u0027" // apóstrofo (UTF-8)

Key example of tag usage <script/>.

<script>
document.querySelector('a').onclick = function() {
    exibirVideo('\
                Embed code')
}
</script>
