Re: problem while passing a list of string to javascript in template

Django presumes all template variables are "unsafe" by default to prevent XSS attacks which is why it's encoded the quotes.

Read up on filters and auto-escaping and you'll be able to figure out the rest.

Cheers,

Hello Everyone,
I have problem while passing a list of string from django views to javascript template. The quotation mark gets converted into hex and I cannot use it to plot graph using jpplot. I even tried replace method of javascript to replace the hex to convert to '. 

The codes are as follows:
From views.py :

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def abc(request):

s1=[1, 5 , 8 , 3]

ticks=["a", "b", "c", "d"]

return render_to_response('abc.html', {'s1':s1, 'ticks':ticks})

From .html file (of template):

 <script class="code" type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){

        $.jqplot.config.enablePlugins = true;

var s1 ={{ s1 }}

var ticks ={{ ticks }}

        plot1 = $.jqplot('chart1', [s1], {

            // Only animate if we're not using excanvas (not in IE 7 or IE 8)..

            animate: !$.jqplot.use_excanvas,

            seriesDefaults:{

                renderer:$.jqplot.BarRenderer,

                pointLabels: { show: true }

            },

            axes: {

                xaxis: {

                    renderer: $.jqplot.CategoryAxisRenderer,

                    ticks: ticks

                }

            },

            highlighter: { show: false }

        });

    

        $('#chart1').bind('jqplotDataClick', 

            function (ev, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) {

                $('#info1').html('series: '+seriesIndex+', point: '+pointIndex+', data: '+data);

            }

        );

    });

</script>

when I view the source of the html file i get {{ ticks }} as
[&#39;a&#39;, &#39;b&#39;, &#39;c&#39;, &#39;d&#39;]
