[Javascript] Apostrophise in JavaScript Functions (ASP created)

Apostrophise in JavaScript Functions (ASP created)Phil,

    I don't see why using JavaScript's built-in escape character (\) won't work.  This is an established function of the JS engine and has been for several versions now...

  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%>&amp;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" title="Delete the Emergency record for <%=emergency_name%>."> 

  </span> 

  Rendered HTML -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- 

  <span class="delete" onClick="confirmdelete('emergency/delete.asp?id=76&amp;tabsheet=Emergency&amp;EmpID=1028','Emergency Contact','Mrs Margaret D'Souza');" id="email/delete.asp?id=76&amp;tabsheet=Emergency">

  <IMG SRC="http://intranet/images/delete.gif" title="Delete the Emergency record for Mrs Margaret D'Souza."> 

  </span>
