If I use a single quoted attribute in a django template like this:
<button data-json='{"color":"red"}'>click</button>
it automatically gets replaced with:
<button data-json="{"color":"red"}">click</button>
the enclosing '{}' are transformed into "{}" which makes the attributee unreadable for jQuery. I already tried
{% autoescape off %}
without luck.
EDIT:
As an experiment I tried something completely without quotes (in template.html):
<button data=foo>click</button>
which is transformed into (looking at the source code in browser)
<button data="foo">click</button>
(with quotes).
I know you could rewrite the whole thing as
data-json="{'color':'red'}"
and then do a javascript .replace() to make it valid json - but this seems very ugly to me. How can one stop the magical replacement?
