Single and double quote problem

[davegraham_1998]

Hi All-

I'm pretty sure this have been discussed earlier, but couldn't find a
solution to my problem.

<input type="submit"
value="Delete Parts"
onclick="return handleDeleteParts('ABC', 'MY
DESCRIPTION')">

I'm using something (Struts ResponseUtils.filter()) which translate 'MY
DESCRIPTION' in such a manner that a double quote is replaced by &quot;
and a single quote to '

The problem is if there is a single quote (translated to ') i get a
javascript error (small error icon on the status bar)it says, "Error:
Expected ")"

if I change the above to:

<input type="submit"
value="Delete Parts"
onclick='return handleDeleteParts("ABC", "MY
DESCRIPTION")'>

it works fine, but a new error is introduced in that now i run into the
same problem is MY DESCRIPTION has a double quote in it.
Here is an actual line:

<input type="submit"
DISABLED
value="Delete Parts"

onclick="return handleDeleteParts('XF2',
''Mustang' Logo Fabric Bucket Seats')">

Any help is appreciated.

Use String.fromCharCode(i) to replace the single and double quotes.

For example, if your string is O'douls, and you want it enclosed in
single quotes, replace the single quote with:

'+String.fromCharCode(39)+'

So an example line might look like:
alert('O'+String.fromCharCode(39)+'douls');
