[Javascript] Apostrophise in JavaScript Functions (ASP create d)

[Rees, Mark (TWIi London)]

Hello
 
try the asp function server.urlencode, like
 
<%=server.urlencode(emergency_name)%>
 
when you retrieve it with request.querystring I think it "decodes" it for
you.
 
Cheers
 
Mark

I have an iccle problem. 

People should be banned from having apostrophise in their names ... 

Below is some HTML code, notice the 3rd passed parameter when calling the
onClick and it contains a text string ... With an apostrophise I need to
keep the apostrophise visually but lose it to code - what did people come up
with ?

I have tried replacing a single apostrophise with a double apostrophise
without luck. 

ASP -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="delete"
onClick="confirmdelete('emergency/delete.asp?id=<%=emergency_emergencyID%>&a
mp;tabsheet=Emergency&amp;EmpID=<%=EmpID%>','Emergency
Contact','<%=emergency_name%>');"
id="email/delete.asp?id=<%=emergency_emergencyID%>&amp;tabsheet=Emergency">

<IMG SRC=" http://intranet/images/delete.gif

<%=emergency_name%>.">
