A bit of a noob question here…

I have a javascript function on a list of table rows

<tr onclick="ClosePopup('{ScenarioID}', '{Name}');" />

However, the {Name} value can sometimes contain the character "'" (single quote). At the moment the error Expected: ‘)’ comes up as a result because it is effectivly ending the javascript function early and destroying the syntax.

What is the best way to prohibit the single quotes in {Name} value from effecting the javascript?

Cheers!

    Although the security information provided by everyone is very valuable, it was not so relevant to me in this situation as everything in this instance is clientside, security measures are applied when getting the data and rendering the XML. The page is also protected through windows authentication (adminsitration section only) and the web app framework cannot be changed. The answer i was looking for was really quite simple in the end.

    <tr onclick='ClosePopup("{ScenarioID}", "{Name}");' />
