you have four options (I know of) - use the typographical apostrophe (U+2019)
- use encodeURI()
- nest the string (use " and ')
- escape the non-delimiter '

hm, not sure how the return string of encodeURIComponent is treated. Quote:

Not working: - onclick="if(confirm('Confirm?')) location.href('Form.asp?A=encodeURI(terry.d'arby)); return false;

think of what you wrote there. - onclick="if(confirm('Confirm?')) location.href('Form.asp?A=' + encodeURI(terry.d'arby) + '); return false;
- onclick="if(confirm('Confirm?')) location.href('Form.asp?A=encodeURI(terry.d'arby)); return false;

something that just popped to my attention: - location.href = new_URI;
-
// not
-
location.href(new_URI);
at least that’s what’s defined in the specs

Nothing... - onclick="if(confirm('Sure?')) location.href = 'Form.asp?A='+encodeURI(terry.d'arby)+''; return false;
