    Hi i have a message hint popping up when you hover over one of my text fields on my form. However if i use a ' in my message it won't work becasue it thinks it is the end of my message i.e.

    'this will work'

    'this won't work'

    how do you escape a ' in javascript

    This works fine when the text is static, but if it's dynamic, you should convert quotes to html entities... I guess
