Inserting a semicolon in a string

ClarenceS12Chew 18 Mar 2012 01:42

This is the JavaScript code for a quiz. The problem is that there are semicolons in the strings.

function quizmaker(questions,quizname) {
var questionnumber=1;
var javascriptcode="function "+quizname+"() { \n";
javascriptcode+="var ans=\"@@\"\n";
while(questionnumber<questions+1) {
javascriptcode+="while (ans!=";
while(rightans!="@@") {
rightans=prompt("Type out the answer for question 1.");
}
javascriptcode+=rightans+") {\n";
javascriptcode+="ans=\"@@\";\n";
// Answer is recommended to be an integer.
javascriptcode+="alert("+questionnumber+". ";
thequestion=prompt("Input the question.");
// Question is recommended to be a multiple-choice question or a math question.
javascriptcode+=thequestion+"\");\n";
javascriptcode+="ans=prompt(\"Type in your answer.\");\n";
javascriptcode+="}\n";
questionnumber++;
}
javascriptcode+="alert(\"Congratulations! You have finished the quiz!\");\n";
javascriptcode+="}";
return javascriptcode;
}

Please help if you know how to.
Does \u003b work to replace semicolon?
