Arg apostrophe!!

Hi,

In my form I have an email textfield. Whenever the user enters an email
address the form gets automatically submitted using JavaScript. However,
when a user enters in an email that contains an apostrophe eg:
Mc’Knight. I get a javascript error and the form never gets submitted.

Any javascript wizard can help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

would be good to see the code...

and by the way:

1. submitting form with javascript works only if javascript is enabled
in the browser - which quite a few people have turned off.

2. i as a user would be pretty pissed by automatically submitted forms,
cause it's my browser and not yours, so i decide to submit forms and
not you.
