A variation of the function provided by Paolo Bergantino that works directly on String   String prototype addSlashes   function            no need to do  str     anymore because  this  can only be a string    return this replace         g       amp    replace   u0000 g     0         By adding the code above in your library you will be able to do   var test    hello single   double    and slash    yippie   alert test addSlashes         EDIT   Following suggestions in the comments  whoever is concerned about conflicts amongst JavaScript libraries can add the following code    if  String prototype addSlashes       String prototype addSlashes   function         else    alert  Warning  String addSlashes has already been declared elsewhere

Use encodeURI    https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects encodeURI  Escapes pretty much all problematic characters in strings for proper JSON encoding and transit for use in web applications  It s not a perfect validation solution but it catches the low-hanging fruit
