How to HTML-escape JSON data from unescaped JSON data containing an integer -

i have problem setting html attribute escaped html json data.

i get:

uncaught syntaxerror: unexpected number on data definition timestamp.

can set integer values in json? how can escape json data put in html data-form-data attribute?

this code:

<input name="file" type="file" id="uploadinput"        class="cloudinary-fileupload" data-cloudinary-field="image_upload"         data-form-data="" ></input> <script> var data = { "timestamp":  2013-05-06 00:20:17.713,            "callback": "https://www.mcbjam.com/scripts/vendor/cloudinary/html/cloudinary_cors.html",           "signature": "99c35c139c34e2e42ba9e7af251686015c10e5f3",            "api_key": "789575445683743" };  $('#uploadinput').attr('src', encodeuri(data)); </script> 

the problem here:

"timestamp":  2013-05-06 00:20:17.713 

javascript doesn't have date literals, , although you're not using json there (you're using javascript object initializer, different), fwiw json doesn't have dates @ all. you'd need supply string, or number (for instance, milliseconds since epoch), etc.

fyi, if call encodeuri on javascript object there if initializer weren't invalid, you'd this: "%5bobject%20object%5d" isn't want.

if want take javascript object , turn json string, can use json.stringify that. , if you're putting dom attribute, there's no need uri-encode it. so:

$('#uploadinput').attr('src', json.stringify(data)); 

but again, json doesn't have dates, you'd have handle before above work.
