I am currently trying to dynamically generate Javascript using a Scala object in my Play application, like so:

<script type="text/javascript">@JavascriptGenerator.generateChangingTextScript()</script>

This Javascript contains characters that Play wants to escape automatically, such as a quote ("). It automatically turns it into:

"String goes here"

rather than the desired:

"String goes here"

The Javascript being returned does not like this, and as such does not work. How do I tell Play to not do this?

Thanks.

The Play 2 equivalent to Play 1’s ${"<".raw} is @Html("<").

In play 1.2.4, there's the methode .raw() that returns the raw content of a property in a template. Did you try @JavascriptGenerator.generateChangingTextScript().raw(); That might work.
