Issue with special characters in javascript

[Sanjaykar Gurram]

Hi

I am having issue passing text containing special characters to a javascript function. Would like to know if there is any special means to pass text like this.

Ex: onclick="loadPopup('My Saloon's Test')" <----- Text having special character( ' )

If i do this it shows script error "Expected )".

Please let me know how do i handle this.


Thanks,
Sanjay

For future reference, there is a HTML and JavaScript forum that you should use instead of this one. Special characters need to be escaped. Traditionally the escape character is backslash. Try the following

"loadPopup('My Saloon\'s Test')"
