First of all this should not normally be a problem, we do this all the time
with single quotes in template fields and dont experience any javascript
errors.
1.) How and what are you binding your gridview to ?
2.) At what point is the javascript error occuring and what code is failing
( Post it )
3.) Is there any code you are running specific to the textboxes or whatever
controls you are using ?
