On html page if I give name in double quotes then it is not getting reflected on page. It displays a blank string. I tried with escape() function but that didn't work. So what is the way to display a string in double quotes.

One thing I forgot to mention that I want to display the string in input text box.

You have several options:

var str = 'My "String"'; //use single quotes for your string
var str = "My \"String\""; //escape your doublequotes
var str = "My "String""; //use it as html special chars
