Passing strings with ‘ to Javascript functions

Hi, I would like to know how to pass strings that contain the ‘ sign in html when using javascript functions.

I have the editElement function in javascript that takes in 3 arguments in php. It so happens some products (in this case under the $product” variable) contain an ‘ in their name. I call the function when a button is clicked via the onclick event.

onClick=’editElement(1,2,”$product”)’

so what happens is when a product like “Jake’s Soup” is entered.

the command becomes:

onClick=’editElement(1,2,”Jake’s Soup”)’

which causes an error because of the ‘ in the “”.

How do you escape this character in javascript to make it work.

Thanks.
