Joomla adds \' to a string value before saving

Question

I have a variable which has this a javascript code value before saving.:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://112.199.36.77:58181/javascripts/api/viz_v1.js'></script><div class='tableauPlaceholder' style='width: 1004px; height: 636px;'><object class='tableauViz' width='1004' height='636' style='display:none;'><param name='host_url' value='http%3A%2F%2F112.199.36.77%3A58181%2F' /> <param name='site_root' value='&#47;t&#47;BDES_Default' /><param name='name' value='MarketInformationSummary&#47;MarketInformationSummary' /><param name='tabs' value='no' /><param name='toolbar' value='yes' /></object></div>

But right before saving, joomla adds this " \' " character for every part of the value which becomes like this :

<script type=\'text/javascript\' src=\'http://112.199.36.77:58181/javascripts/api/viz_v1.js\'></script>
            <div class=\'tableauPlaceholder\' style=\'width: 100%; min-height: 450px;\'>
            <object class=\'tableauViz\' width=\'100%\' height=\'500px\' style=\'display:none;\'>
            <param name=\'host_url\' value=\'http%3A%2F%2F112.199.36.77%3A58181%2F\' />
            <param name=\'site_root\' value=\'/t/BDES_Default\' />
            <param name=\'name\' value=\'MarketInformationSummary&#47;MarketInformationSummary\' />
            <param name=\'tabs\' value=\'no\' />
            <param name=\'toolbar\' value=\'no\' />
            </object>
            </div>

for the end result, when the value is displayed in the page, it does not show the URL being displayed by the variable.

Why does this happen? why does joomla need to add \' in the string? is there a way to escape this value in order to save the variable as it is?

Answer 1

My honest mistake. I was executing the wrong task which calls the model function that adds \' in the variable's value.
