<a title="Delete" onclick="remove_file('folder', 4493,'Colin&#39;s folder')"><i class="icon-trash" style="cursor:pointer;"></i></a>

The above code has the html code &#39; to represent an apostrophe in the string. In Google Chrome, I am currently getting the following error from that line:

Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected Identifier

I assume that one of those characters is breaking the parsing? I have other instances of this same code without the apostrophe code and I do not get the error. How can I fix this, while still being able to pass strings with apostrophes?

    How about

    'Colin\'s folder'

    instead? Javascript understands backslash escapes.
