using quotes in variables

Hi,

I use document.write in a HTML-document to display same information. Now I
have a problem displaying text that sometimes contains two kinds of quotes
simultanelisly. I don't know on beforehand if this is the situation. See
example:

## ---

<script language="JavaScript">
var a1; // text to display - variable between '
var a2; // text to display - variable between "

a1='This text (a1) contains the single (') and the double (") quote and is
placed between single quotes. How can I display this variable using
document.write?'

a2="This text (a2) contains the single (') and the double (") quote and is
placed between double quotes. How can I display this variable using
document.write?"

document.write(""+a1+" "+a2+"");
</script>

## ---

Is there possibly another character to use for placing around the text? Or
any other solution?

Thanks,

Sjoerd

my poor example, view in notepad or what ever, and hope the code goes
through the post intact..
<html><head><title></title>
</head><body text="#000000">
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
</body></html>

a1='This text (a1) contains the single (\') and the double (") quote';
a2="This text (a2) contains the single (') and the double (\") quote";
document.write(""+a1+" "+a2+"");

document.write(a1, ' ', a2);
